Q. Can I use LogMeIn for remote access to my practice PC from home?
A. LogMeIn is fine for remote access. A few good practices to keep in mind:
- Use a strong password, at least eight characters with a mix of numbers, letters – both upper case and lower case – and non-alphanumeric characters.
- Don't share the password or reuse it for other online services
- Keep the number of remote users to a minimum
- Use the pro or paid version
- Keep the software up to date
- Don't access your practice computer from insecure wifi networks like cafés, hotels or bars
- Ensure you have a firewall and antivirus software on your practice network
- Ensure your practice computer's operating system is up to date and have all the necessary security patches.
