Preface
When it comes to remote control, many friends must be familiar with it. After all, Sunflower software is a well-known remote control software.
When traveling, it is very common to use sunflowers to remotely control computers at home or in the office. In various scenarios of remote computer maintenance, customer service will require customers to install remote control software first.
The use of sunflowers to remotely control office computers is basically rare.
Even if it's the free version, the picture quality and transmission quality are really indescribably touching - paste!
If there's a solution that allows you to connect to your office computer anytime using Microsoft's built-in remote desktop, would you like to know?
No, I don't want to! because I don't want to have to work while I'm traveling.
We can assume that we won't, but we can't not know.
The body begins
If you want to remotely control the office computer from thousands of miles away, you first need to have the two computers able to communicate normally.
If we are on the same network in the office, we can realize the normal communication of the equipment. But if you are at home, the device cannot communicate directly because of the NAT of the router.
Establish and join a virtual LAN
At this time, it is necessary to establish a virtual LAN for normal communication between devices. This means that you can use Zerotier or Tailscale to establish a virtual LAN, and then the devices that need to communicate can join the network.
The virtual LAN deployment tutorial is coming, super detailed!
Both computers need to join the virtual LAN set up by Zerotier, and then wait 5-10 minutes before trying to ping to see if it works.
Test whether the two computers can communicate normally
On one of the Windows computers, press [Win] + [R], enter [CMD], and press Enter
Find the virtual LAN IP of another computer, here I am [192.168.192.97]
Enter [ping 192.168.192.97] on the black box that just appeared, press enter, and see [sent=4, received=4] to mean normal communication.
Remote control
At this time, you can use one of the computers to remotely control the other computer, and the IP of the remote control is the virtual LAN you just set.
Before using Microsoft's built-in remote desktop software, you need to set it up first, please click the blue word below to jump to the setup tutorial:

Using Microsoft's built-in remote desktop to connect to the office's Windows, the picture quality and response are very good, and it is not easy to drop. The uplink bandwidth required for remote control is not high, and it can basically be used smoothly (unless there is a file being uploaded on the controlled end, which will cause the network to be slightly unstable).

Computers in the same LAN can communicate normally, then you can set up folder sharing, but the speed of copying and pasting depends on the uplink speed of the broadband.
