Windows Remote Desktop over the internet traditionally requires port forwarding — which exposes port 3389 to the internet and makes your machine a target for constant brute-force attacks.

In this video I show you how to use Tailscale — a free WireGuard-based VPN — to create a private encrypted network between your devices, allowing full Windows Remote Desktop access from anywhere in the world without opening a single port on your router.
