Anthian provides a remote working facility that has several advantages over other commercial offerings:
- It's resilient, carries on working after a reboot
- Easy to use
- Allows for local printing (so if you're at home controlling your office PC and need to print, you can direct the office computer to print on your local printer at home)
- Secure: it only allows access to your own PC, using your own password, with an app tailored for you.
- Billed monthly (currently free of charge until at least July 2020)

General usage

When you have finished, just click the cross at the top right, or use the * menu on the top right and click 'Terminate' - see below
When you quit, the remote computer will automatically lock itself, so you don't have to do that.
Printing

You'll get a small window for you to choose the printer to use. Choose your printer and click on Print.
