    My company has blocked usage of LogMeIn, is there any other similar services that are free for remote access?

    Hi Zascar,

    You employer is probably trying to secure his network. If so, the interruption to your use of LogMeIn is an unfortunate consequence but not one which you should feel you need to circumvent. Your employer is entitled to specify the use to which company resources are put and to prevent all non-authorised use.

    You should consider what the consequences might be if you are caught bypassing your employer's attempts to lock down their network. This is not a good time to be looking for a new job!

    Probably not what you wanted to hear but it's better than hearing it from your employer while he's handing you your P45.
