Connection between two PCs via TeamViewer is made exclusively through the servers of the company that owns the application, and for remote management between two computers in the same local network (LAN), TeamViewer has better alternatives.

I use the analog LiteManager to remotely monitor the computer at work, because the price of the license is less than Teamviewer, which I use at home. After all, it's paid for commercial use and free at home. I think I am not mistaken.
And … is a good alternative to TeamViewer. You are right. Thus, I worked with TeamViewer, I used it to manage multiple computers, and “suspected of commercial use” showed me Thanks!
