Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for a free remote desktop solution that functions similarly to Windows RDP. Unfortunately, my laptop is on a domain where RDP is restricted by policy. I only need this for use on my local network from my main desktop PC, and I'm looking for something that doesn't mirror the laptop's screen. Specifically, I need the ability to:
- Utilize both of my local monitors, even though my laptop only has one.
- Have proper resolution scaling and adaptation.
- Access a more independent session rather than simple screen mirroring.
This setup is just for convenience with my own devices. Are there any free software options that can meet these requirements or at least come close?

Before trying to bypass any policies, it might be worth chatting with your HR team about the reasons behind the RDP block. They may offer a solution, especially for elevated accounts!
You might want to check out Chrome Remote Desktop. It's free and you can enable privacy settings to display the lock screen on the remote client. This could be a convenient option for you!
Honestly, if there are group policies blocking RDP, you might face challenges installing any new software. Have you considered using a KVM switch instead? It can give you control over multiple devices without messing with policies.
