remote work

Typically that would depend on your situation with the remote workstation. 

Depending on the app you are using you may have to open a port on that remote firewall or router. For instance, Remote Desktop resorts to the default port 3089. Google the app you are using to remotely access your workstation to find the required port. 

You could also try Teamviewer, or many other apps to do the necessary work for you.
