I’m going to be away from home for a few weeks and would like to access my computer (LMDE) while I’m away. Remote desktop connection would be ideal, just file transfer would be acceptable.
Is a VPN necessary, or can port forwarding be good enough for a one time use?
What software/networking recommendations do you have?
This!
Make sure to enable connect with IP in Rustdesk, and use the ip supplied by Tailscale when your not home.
Easy!
(If you use linux, make sure to use X11 rather than Wayland on your session to allow unattended connections)
