OpenVPN to Access Remote Desktop
13,119
Yes.
- Install OpenVPN server on the remote computer you wish to control - Google has many many tutorials on how to do this (even the OpenVPN community website has an excellent guide). As a note, you can get routers that have OpenVPN server built-in.
- You will need to forward the relevant ports from your home router to the OpenVPN server (the PC you wish to control)
- You will need to either give the PC you wish to control a static IP or ensure your home router reserves the same IP for the device's MAC address.
- Once OpenVPN is configured you need to install and configure the OpenVPN client onto your remote/mobile device
- Connect to the VPN
You can then access all resources on the home computer - files, remote desktop etc. etc.
