Once configured, these programs allow you to securely connect to a computer from another device. You’ll be able to fully control your computer from any location, and it’ll almost be like actually sitting down to the real machine from afar.

For you folks at home; anytime you see the terms, “canary, alpha, beta”, these are test versions and have not been released to the public in general.
Finally, I am seeing where Firefox version 70.0 has been released. I never thought I would see the day where software versions reach into the high double digits, but here we are.

Feel free to comment and share your software finds. You can find a whole slew of downloads HERE … that are updated daily.
