I’m going to set up a WireGuard server on my router. I want my mom to be able to use it but she lives very far away so setup will need to be done remotely. What’s the best way to go about this? I need to share the WG config somehow.

She’s not great at computers either, so any tips on how to easily install and set things up on her computer would be appreciated.

I’ve been trying to avoid Tailscale or Netbird, but maybe that would be the best solution in the end. I’m not interested in self-hosting a relay or management service though, I feel like I’m way too inexperienced to secure such an important system. Should anyone compromise the VPS, both me and my mom’s devices would also be compromised (I assume).

Thanks!

    I would walk her through a setup for Anydesk or other RDP software then just take control and do it yourself. No point in causing them stress if they get click happy.

      I’m warming up to the idea of using some sort of RDP software. I saw that Anydesk is proprietary, do you have any experience with Rustdesk? I’ll do some research.

      Thank you (and everyone else who has responded)!
