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!

    As others have mentioned, Tailscale would be about the easiest to do, imo. However, I would still walk her through installing RDP. That way you can administer whatever may happen in the future, which is very likely to happen.
