Remote is something I'd only enable while using it. Once found my ubuntu (I use arch btw) with the setting on for some reason. Might be worth checking even if you never turned it on.

How do you switch it on when you don't have physical access to the computer?

SSH, most likely

Remember kids, remote access only counts if it's graphical! A hacker is legally not allowed to hack into your device if you stop the VNC service.
