Is there a safe way to use windows remote desktop to connect to a home computer using a public wifi? ?

  1. of course because the PC your trying to use remote desktop too requires a Admin account that is password protected you do know that in order for remote desktop to work from outside your home network , you must setup a port forward to the PC's LAN IP
  2. Well, only if you first open a VPN to that machine, otherwise the username and password is sent in PLAIN TEXT readable by anyone on the wifi network! At least used ENCRYPTED systems! http://www.mobydisk.com/techres/securing_remote_desktop.html
