Hi there
even better solution -- SSP and putty via tunnel to remote computer -- desktop sharing !!!
BTW on Linux if you want to check your (external --i.e the Internet address) Ip address from time to time it's really easy --just send to your mobile or whatever
here's the script (I'm sure somebody could do it in Windows too--- you could use the WSL though in Windows).
#!/bin/bash
# Send email from bash
# hrafn simple script to send simple email with your IP address (external)
#read -p "Enter SMTP email server address: " server
#read -p "Enter SMTP Port: " port
#read -p "Enter Your Email Address: " from
#read -p "Enter Recipient's Email Address: " to
# get your public IP address
server="<your mail server>"
port="25"
from="<your email from address>"
to="<your destination email address>"
#echo $server
#echo $port
#echo $from
#echo $to
myip="$(dig +short myip.opendns.com @
ReSolver1.opendns.com)"
# create message
function mail_input {
echo "ehlo $(hostname -f)"
echo "MAIL FROM: <$from>"
echo "RCPT TO: <$to>"
echo "DATA"
echo "From: <$from>"
echo "To: <$to>"
echo "Subject: Simple external IP address resolver"
echo " "
echo "Your public internet address is "
echo $myip
echo " "
echo "finished"
echo "."
echo "quit"
}
mail_input | netcat $server $port || err_exit
just have that run say every 120 mins or whenever you think your remote ISP (home computer) changes the IP address -- most these days don't give static IP addresses. (Crontab -- or in Windows you'll need some type of automatic job scheduling program --in Linux it's built in to the OS).
For things like passswords and TLS you need to update the script but you should get the idea. !!!
Bye Bye Teamviwer !!!!

And, if it works better than RDP, it just might be worth paying for TeamViewer.
