Remote computer

A remote computer (also known as remote desktop or remote access) is a physical personal computer to which a user does not have physical access, but that can be accessed or interacted with.^[1] Unlike servers, remote computers are mainly used for peer to peer connections, where one device is unattended. A remote computer connection is generally only possible if the both devices have a network connections.

There are software solutions, which offer a server structure as well as tunnel creation to establish a connection between a device and a remote computer.
