Remote desktop connection to parents laptop

colly10

My parents are having problems with sorting tasks on the laptop lately and i’m helping out more and more lately.

I’d like to get alit of these things sorted with a remote desktop connection.
The only way I can think of doing it is setting up a vpn server on their side (don’t know if it’s possible with their Eircom router) then connecting to the vpn on my side and running a remote desktop connection.

Anyone know of an easier/better way that’s resonably secure and wouldn’t cost a fortune

Install team viewer, set it to run on startup and set a permanent password. Then you can connect anytime they need help. Saves hours of explaining how to open the control panel :-)

You can even install the ipad or android app which is handy and its free afaik.

Check out youtube for a quick insight. Should be handy enough to set up.
