This is no longer a problem for me since I switched my parents from windows to mac, but remote desktop login to troubleshoot their problems would be a huge bonus.
Other cool things I could do if I dropped a raspberry-pi w/ tailscale onto their network:
- Need another public IP to test something? Route my laptop through their network for awhile.
- share files with them or backup some of their devices to a fileserver I control.
- send print jobs to their printer, I don't keep a printer but they do because.. and I shit you not, they hate doing crosswords on their ipads, they print the damn things out every morning and work them on paper.
- Put it on their phones and have them route their requests through one of my exit nodes.
