Central Nebraska | Using Teamviewer or something similar would be the easiest way and not need a VPN. Google Chrome has a remote desktop plugin too. Both Teamviewer and the Chrome Remote Desktop can be setup for unattended remote access. A word of caution, Teamviewer has been cracking down on license abuse.
A VPN is Virtual Private Network. It essentially extends your local network over a WAN (public) connection to a remote device or network (office to office). They are also used to provide secure routes to the internet and prevent malicious activity when connected to a public network. If you are not familiar with how to use the likes of Teamviewer, a VPN will be overly difficult to configure and use. Its not necessary in this instance either. |
