Remote access refers to the technology that allows users to access a device or a network from a location where they are not present. It allows users to access systems where they are physically incapable of connecting directly to them. Remote access can be broadly categorized into two types:
Host-based Remote Access
This is the most basic form of remote access. It refers to the scenario where a user is able to connect to a device or a network from a remote location via a computer. The user can connect to the device or the network from anywhere in the world, as long as he has access to the internet.
However, host-based remote access is not ideal for many reasons. For instance, it is not very secure. A hacker can easily access the device or the network by breaking through the firewall.
