Well, I ended up w/ using wg-easy to setup a VPN between moms computer and guacamole server. I like this because I can control the VPN on my end easily via the WebUI. So when I want to RDP, I’ll enable VPN then use Guac to RDP, but most of the time, no VPN. Also, I now have a VPN. Tried Rustdesk (so promising, so horrible), read on other options, tried MeshCentral again.

​

Guacamole RDP over HTML is just the bomb as far as the actual user experience once setup. This way, by having VPN, I allow Guacamole to do what its good at and I allow VPN to do what it is good at and don’t try and find software thats “all in one”

I tried MeshCentral, I couldn’t get it to work and didn’t like the things it tried to “automate” for me, made it hard to debug. UI looked dated, but I hear grate things. For now, I went w/ RustDesk. Sometimes, when a program is soo hard to configure, I have to use it lol, while RustDesk was hard, I at least was able to get it working.
