Remote connection over internet? (aussie.zone)

I'm going to be away from home for a few weeks and would like to access my computer (LMDE) while I'm away. Remote desktop connection would be ideal, just file transfer would be acceptable.

Is a VPN necessary, or can port forwarding be good enough for a one time use?

What software/networking recommendations do you have?

If you want a full complete remote desktop solution, you should probably look at VNC and portforwarding its port. I think it's 3001.

Or if you won't (or can't) mess with port forwards, you could setup something like RustDesk for the TeamViewer experience.
