Notunderscore's (mostly open-source) recommendations
We sometimes had no idea what to install / what programs to have, and while this list may cover some programs that may be useless to some people, I hope you find it useful anyway.
Remote access you can host inside your own perimeter
Remote access tools that can run on infrastructure you control, rather than only through a vendor's cloud. Useful if you work under data-residency rules, need the relay inside your own network, or simply want the option to move off SaaS later.
The selection criterion is narrow on purpose: every entry here can be deployed on your own server, either as the full product or as a self-hosted relay/gateway. Some are fully open source, some are commercial with a self-hosted tier — that difference is noted per entry.
Disclosure: this list is maintained by the Vexaro team, so we have a stake in this category. Everything below is a third-party tool, and we tried to describe each one by what it actually does rather than how it compares to us.

Zero latency on the local network. Feels like the input would be directly fed to the remote machine. It is a bit of a hassle to set it up to run server on boot, but after 2-3 hours everything is exactly as I would like to have it.
I keep coming back to TigerVNC because TightVNC has no encryption, but each time I ditch the effort. On my latest try it was because I could not get the encryption to work with my client (can't use their own viewer on it) and it was much slower than TightVNC on my setup.
Couldn't get this to connect to VNC on Mac, not sure why, kept saying it wasn't matching Security options. Yet my Windows and iPad apps connect with no issues. I tried several options, gave up and installed VNC Viewer (vnc connect)
Doesn't work very well. Tried it with Windows 10 and the latency was around up to 3 seconds. It's unusable for me. If you open the startmenu, it updates only some parts of it: The result is a garbled image. My setup: Running a server on my laptop, connected via 5GHz WiFi. Running the viewer on my PC, connected via 1Gbps LAN. On the same local network. I mean... at least it's free...
