Here is your answer if you need to access your home network on the road, for RA or whatever you need to do. Finially someone made one that is simple and free. Most of the time, this stuff costs big bucks for this capability! I'm just blown away that it is free!

Free always makes me suspect.

Why would this company offer this service for free? What are they getting out of it?

There aint no such thing as a free lunch. This service cost the company money. Why would they give it away for free?

Altruism? Never heard of that in a company.

In my lifetime, I have found that often I can't afford stuff that is free.

Free for personal use usually means they want you to install it and know it, then you will 'pay' for it at work to use the same thing.

Same biz model that AV companies use and it works!

Further reading (I am not familiar with the premium ver, but I've got guys running the basic version) a home user has no need for the premium version at all:
