Windows user here, please don’t shoot me
I’m in need of a remote desktop solution that works without a monitor. I’ve tried AnyDesk, TeamViewer, and TightVNC.
All of the stuff I have need of using has a GUI client or dedicated software, but I’m about to be away from home for a couple weeks and I’m worried it might shit out on me for one reason or another and need some manual input (any one who has ever used a computer knows that this happens sometimes)
I have OpenVPN on my router and that’s how I’m accessing everything, so a local solution will work, and it would be nice, but not necessary, if it’s got an Android client as well
I have Windows 10 Home so I can’t use remote desktop that’s built into windows without installing a cracked pro version of window.
I’ve switched almost exclusively to using RustDesk these days for anything outside of my LAN, and have had zero problems with it running on barebones machines, zero monitor connected. It’s open source!
If you’re wanting to use the windows built in RDP, there apparently is a DLL wrapper that enables the RDP server on Home installations. See github. I haven’t had to use it though because my machines are all, well, “legal” copies of 10 or 11 pro, so i cant speak to whether it works or not.
Just use the rdp wrapper. https://www.helpwire.app/blog/remote-desktop-for-windows-10-home/
It works, i’ve used it in professional settings no worries
This solution doesn’t seem to work. It says not supported on newer versions of windows.
The support page on the github says something about updating an ini but there are no inis and I don’t know where to put this ini
