My parents are having problems w/their computers and I'm hoping I can use the remote desktop feature in Win7 to correct their issues (some of the 3rd party apps that route through 3rd party servers (Teamview) are just so SLOW....
But I was thinking if I can setup a vpn on linux and she can install VPN SW on Windows... then I should be able to get a direct connect. She is able to ping my linux server, but that's all I know as far as connectivity goes.
I've found some openvpn SW for Windows and this setup page: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:OpenVPN_Installation_and_Setup for linux... but am not clear on how to make the win side connect as a network connection (not to mention windows routing is such a pain)...
I got down to past building the DH key... but then they talk about client config -- and I realize at that point it sounds like it is for another linux box...
???
I'm a bit -familiar w/iptables -- and have setup masquerading and using the linux box for local traffic forwarding/connecting...
Does anyone have any experience in this area?
thanks much......
Linda, I haven't read your thread, but for you or others interested in remote desktop'ing to a Windows PC. I wrote a blog post a few months ago that relates. https://lizards.opensuse.org/category/infrastructure-2/ I hope it helps, Greg -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
