Acess from home

[Stormwound]

Hello, 

I'm having trouble acessing my office server from my house. I would like to Know what do I have to do to acess it with a safe and practical way for exemple with a vpn.  Thanks for your time

Teamviewer is pretty idiot-proof. Just do a custom setup and allow VPN. If that's what you actually need. If it's actually VNC, the basic setup has it right there.  Lots of nice words being said about KDE around the watercoolers of the internet. I haven't tried it yet but am definitely going to. 

If your server has a static IP, you could go with the built in remote desktop and/or built in VPN. Neither of those two are particularly easy to set up and manage, just like everything about the sidelines of all Windowses but they're pretty robust. If you want options, these lists could give you some ideas.

What VPN connectivity is setup in the router?

What sort of Server is it?
Ideally you don't want ports open to the world - so I would avoid VNC/Remote Desktop ports if possible.

 

If you can setup a linux VM you could setup a VPN service using OpenVPN and install a VPN Client on your home machine.

 

If it's just the single server you want to RDP/VNC into then i'd setup a linux VM with SSH - configure SHA-2 user certificate, and then use RDP via an SSH Tunnel (Socks5 Proxy)

Easiest solution would be something like Logmein/Teamviewer

First and foremost, is this your work's company server? If so, you may want to ask your IT people and 1st of all see if:

A. It's permitted.
B. If it needs to be requested so they grant you that access (sometimes permissions need to be granted in your work account, also to ensure your work's network would even permit a virtual tunnel through their routers).
C. Are you allowed to install software on your work PC to use it as a point to connect to your work server from a home PC.

If this server is for your own personal business, then I guess you make the rules on that, but if it's not, you're going to need to know what is allowed 1st, not just for the sake of ensuring you're not breaking company policies, but to ensure it can even be done.

Just a few reminders from your friendly neighborhood IT guy.
