I have a restricted work laptop that requires Cisco VPN connectivity to function properly. Additionally, administrative privileges are necessary to install any software. I need to control this laptop remotely from another country as I will be traveling to my home country. I attempted to use portable TeamViewer, which does not require installation, but my employer was able to track my activity.

I would like to know if there is a secure and efficient method to remotely control my restricted work laptop from anywhere without the need for a complex setup. I am a beginner in this area and have heard about PI-KVM and TinyPilot, but I am unsure which one would be best suited for my situation and how to set it up. Any assistance or step-by-step guidance would be greatly appreciated as it would allow me to maintain my job and address an urgent travel situation.
