Not sure how I missed this but I just found out that Mesh will let me remote in to my computers! No funky firewall configuration or anything. Just click “connect to device” and you have a RDP session going.
Only problem is that my workstation at home has 3 1600x1200 monitors on it so the session here at my client is a bit funky – I have a 1680x1050 screen. So I had to reconfigure down to one screen. No biggie, especially considering the convenience.
With this little feature I think I’ll be able to stop carrying my laptop with me. I have Mesh installed on my client’s laptop so I can control my workstation from their office. That means I can move files back and forth and surf the web.
My client’s web filtering is pretty heavy handed. There are a number of technical sites that I can’t get to, so this is a really nice features. It’s one of the reasons I carry my laptop with me.
