Yeah it can be more limiting. Personally I got lucky and my mom's TV runs Android so I could just install a wireguard client.
I will probably at some point bridge her network with mine since I want to install a TrueNAS box at her house for remote backup. So the VPN client will be moot at that point.
just syncthing it :)
How do you go about doing that?
Which part? For the TV there was literally a wireguard app. I just had to install it on the TV and configure the connection to my wireguard server.
For the bridging I gave her my old router which I haven't tested but I believe should support VPN bridging. I already have her on a subnet that won't conflict with my network for that reason.
FYI, scrcpy can be an excellent tool for remote support, but you'd better trust the network the interface is on
