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.

    If you’re already connecting to your home network via VPN, then RDP is always an option.

    Edit: read the whole post before replying. Someone else clarified you can run RDP on Home, and recommended my preferred remote control app, Rustdesk.

      Do you selfhost rustdesk or using default server? Selfhosting looks bit too complex and default server is not working properly every time (laggy and losing connection)
