VNC is the best way, IMHO. It’s a bit tricky, if you want to provide several parallel VNC sessions for multiuser. Otherwise it’s quite simple.

RealVNC project page provides some nice examples.
(e.g. https://discover.realvnc.com/how-to-use-vnc-connect-remote-desktop-software)

The security issue is, usually you keep logged in as a user, and access security depends on VNC, only. And if someone can connect a keyboard/Monitor at the remote location, it may not be, what you want.
