IT where I work doesn't allow individuals to install their own apps. &nbsp;But there is an application I'd like to run.<br />
<br />
I do have internet access via the FireFox browser.<br />
<br />
I'd like guidance on how to use internet connection at work to reach my home computer remotely &nbsp;(remote desktop?) and work with the app in a browser window on my desktop at work.<br />
<br />
I can't install anything on my work computer to accomplish this task.<br />

Alternatively, if I need to set up some inexpensive server to run a windows app I am willing to try that too (under $1000?).

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
