Problem: I want to remotely access my computer from untrusted computers like on friends house or at work.

Looking for: Remote desktop software (SSH is out of scope, as it could do commands in the background). Client should work in the browser or have portable binaries. Server should send some soft of 2FA before every connection without a way to remember it, so I could be safe in a case of a keylogger snooping on connection password. Not nessesary, but would be nice to have some sort of rate limiting for the inputs, so it won’t be possible for some rubber-ducky style script to open terminal and run command before I could react.

    Apache Guacamole might be a good option. “Clientless” (browser-based), supports various mfa, uses ssh/vnc/rdp on the backend.

    However, if the data on that machine is sensitive, or if that machine has access to other sensitive things on your network, I’d suggest caution in allowing remote access from untrusted machines on the wider internet.
