RDP into your network externally for free. Sign up for a account at DynDNS.org this where you can register a free domain for yourself. Once your done creating your account, you need to download the DynDNS client for your workstation this should be on the workstation youd like to remote into but doesnt have to. This client will have you login with your credentials to update your external IP address of your network with the domain of your choice.
Now here is for the hard part and a part I cannot walk you through step by step as this varies on your equipment. This is general steps for your configuration for your router now since all GUIs are different for each vendor.
Now if youre using DHCP youll need to set the workstation of the one which is going to be remoted into to a static IP address so it never changed. Next step is in your router youll need to configure port forwarding, All requests for port 3389 will be sent to the static address of your choice. Also make sure within windows you have Remote Desktop enabled which you can find in Control Panel > System> Remote Settings and then check off allow remote connections.
Now youre done you can type your domain into any remote desktop connection manager on an external network and it should be able to connect to workstation and ask for your credentials.
Also on a side note with DynDNS services one of the web based options is parental permission and malicious protection. Where it can block well known websites which contact appropriate content and malicious scripts. This provides a heighten level of security on your Network as any requests for these websites will be blocked when the computer is doing a DNS Resolution on that particular address.
