Can I create my own personal "cloud network" (remotely use my other PCs and/or web server)?

[ddchbm]

Hi! I am out right now on my laptop and thinking of running a couple of tests.

I have a PC at home as well and these are part of the same local network farm.

1. Is there a way I could access my local PC from elsewhere and leverage its processors?

2. Also, could I use a remote windows instance that is running on a server e.g. Digital Ocean, Amazon, etc?

Thanks so much!
