Remote access to an iMac Pro

Question

A friend has an iMac Pro at his home and I want to connect remotely to his iMac Pro from my Macbook Pro via some kind of remote desktop service.

This enables video editing where the iMac Pro is fast compared to my Mac which is too slow being from 2016.

My first attempt to screen sharing and use Final Cut Pro installed on that iMac Pro failed. I downloaded Remote Desktop from the store, but I can only make it work when both of our devices are in the same network.

I would need to access his iMac Pro from anywhere.

Does someone know how to get this setup working?

Use either Screens and Screens Connect or TeamViewer.

• https://edovia.com/en/screens-connect/ and https://edovia.com/en/screens-mac/
• https://www.teamviewer.com/

Both of these broker connections and work with routers to establish connections across the internet and private networks where routing is not set up for ARD.
