Teamviewer sucks completely, as expected because it is business ;)
Everyone has a limited time for using it for free non-professional use.
It blocks your connection for few minutes, and you can reconnect after given time.

What is the possible alternative? X11 forward on MS Window?

Anydesk is even more locking users. https://anydesk.com/order
Anydesk is good answer on a MS Windows forum, but alternatives could be BSD based here.
 
X11 forward on MS Window?
I guess, we already spoke about X11 forwarding – it simply doesn't work properly for modern GUI applications.
Chromium is a good example: try forwarding it, and you'll get just a gray rectangle...

If a solution is not multiplatform, most people in most cases simply don't need it, it's not a solution.
Anydesk at least has official FreeBSD support and meaningful licensing scheme – in contrast to Teamviewer.
 
x11 is ultra slow with GTK, yeah... this is the bottle neck.

vnc is complex to set up actually.

With a tunnel, I tried tigervnc and tightvnc, it works, but perfs are not that great.
VNC with few colors works more or less, over a ssh tunnel.
Anyhow vnc is not a greatest hit solution.
 
I've used it on CentOS to help my wife with her Mac in her studio. At that time I don't think there was anything that worked as well, but I haven't used it in a few years. I've never tried it on FreeBSD, and only used the free for personal use version.
