I'm trying to use my home computer from work, since I am doing computational biology work that needs CPU power, and my i9 is about 4 times faster than anything I can use at work - my supervisor has recommended I remote, since the university is being stingy and we only have slow hardware at the office.
I tried setting up Windows Remote Desktop; I selected the options for enabling remote (My home PC uses Win10 Education, which seems to support it), and try to access it using a dynDNS (through No-IP).
The problem is that my router setup is ipv6: The connection came with my apartment and thus I have no ability to forward ports. All of the guides I can find on how to remote seem to rely on port forwarding, so I have no idea how to connect to my PC after I've connected to the dynDNS.
I am using NordVPN on my home PC, which I thought could have been an issue, but enabled or disabled I just can't connect.
The fact is I just don't know what I'm doing with regard to networking, especially ipv6 networking. I could do with a step by step guide here.
At the moment I'm using teamviewer, but given that my home PC has a much larger desktop resolution than my laptop, it just isn't practical having to zoom in on the text.
If you do have a VPN to your home PC you should be able to use the VPN address. If you don't RDP won't work without a forward. You might be able to use e.g. TeamViewer or one of its competitors. Be aware that those solutions can pose a risk. I do think that TeamViewer should be able to change resolution(s). – Seth – 2020-02-05T13:21:08.437
Why does IPv6 means that you can't forward ports? Both topics are unrelated. You just need access to your router. – Robert – 2020-02-05T13:48:38.793
The router simply does not have a port forwarding option in the options; examining the ISP's site said that ipv6 routers simply do not support port forwarding because a large block of ip addresses are assigned.
As for the VPN, I will investigate if I can use that. – Nicholas Hananeia – 2020-02-05T14:59:38.217
