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?
Everyone says tailscale but if you don’t want to setup an account with google or Microsoft login, Netbird is the way to go.
Or run your own headscale server, which is what I do.
Until Tailscale IPOs and starts locking the clients down, like BitWarden is doing right now.
