Please describe the tasks you're wanting to accomplish.

>> You mentioned "mirror" your computer at work. Are you trying to copy everything to a physical computer away from work?
>> You mentioned remote desktop and that it even works well over a 4G connection.

Stuff I need to know:
Is your office configured with a vpn that you can use to connect from a remote location to the internal LAN?
>> If the answer is yes, then get someone in an IT role to set you up with vpn access and use remote desktop after connecting via the vpn. A vpn is probably the best security for your LAN at work against outside intrusions. I don't know much about LogMeIN and any of its competitors.

I would caution against working around your IT department. If you have any NDAs or confidentiality agreements, a breach could leave you open to a lawsuit.
