Teamviewer and Anydesk are an option but I prefer remote desktop connection. Setup a virtual network with ZeroTier or Tailis and connect via RDP. ZeroTier has a very generous free tier (I think 20 devices for free). I have a server at home and I connect like this all the time when I am away...

I was using Defender for a few years and then ESET but given up on both for two reasons. 1. I stopped getting the option to allow a file on my computer. For some reason, both companies believe that they can make the final decision for me 2. I could not completely disable any of them I now use...

Thanks for the explanation. I will have a deeper look at it. I managed CentOS for more than two years. I say Linux is a mess because no one knows where files should be found, what settings should change, etc. Take something as fundamental as Apache. Even if you read the docs of a distro...

No, I am not into gaming so not a problem for me. Any issues with security since WIn7 does not receive any updates from microsoft?

This seems to be the right way but with some issues. Thanks

I should also mention that I have changed the name of the default workgroup in both PCs

Actually I have the opposite problem. I can see the user from the server but not the local account on the client PC I'll summarise the setup cause, coincidentally, I noticed something else just now. I have the server pc and the clients connected on a router. Then I have ZeroTier running that...

I have posted the issue I am facing with the permissions here https://hardforum.com/threads/the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified.2034916/

I completely forgot about this option. Thanks

No, i do not have crazy needs. I am the only person accessing the files. I still have Win Server and I know all about permissions but in this case I can not make them work correctly. This is the problem I am facing https://hardforum.com/threads/the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified.2034916/

Linux is a mess. You need to spend time learning how to configure it. BTW, would it work with WIndows 10 on a client PC? I haven't ever tried FreeBSD

what's tiny11? a slim down win 11 version?

Yes, now I have server 2022 but there is a mess with permissions and I can't figure out how to resolve it. BTW, the machine works very well with 2022 but the permission thing drives me nuts

Hi, I am fed up with the rubbish on Win11 and (less) on Win10 especially with telemetry and broken windoes images. So, I am really considering installing Win 7 on a PC I use as a file server. I know Win 7 does not receive any security updated but I was wondering if a good antivirus with...

Hi, My setup has a PC that I use as a file server (running Windows Server 2022), a client PC (running Windows 10) and ZeroTier to create a private VPN. I have shared three drives on the server and mapped them onto the client using the IP that ZeroTier produces. I do not use Active directory...
