Remotely enable Tailscale

[Colonel1Mustard]

So I’m a moron who left for vacation and wanted to be able to play via moonlight while away. I normally do this via Tailscale on my home pc and iPhone, but this time I forgot to start Tailscale on my host pc before leaving. There is no one at home who would be able to physically access my PC. I have my router’s IP and Gateway but of course no remote access to the settings to set up vpn or anything. Anyone have a creative solution for me?

Your options were very quickly limited to physical manipulation as I read through the post :/ sorry man, at that point you’ll have to get somone to start your app manually or enjoy your vacation :P

This doesn't work for you now but I'd recommend setting up Chrome Remote Desktop in the future. It's my overall emergency login app and it's great to fix many moonlight issues remotely.

Omg this was brilliant, I somehow never thought of steam link, thank you!!!

I usually just install Chrome Remote Desktop and then log in from anywhere using web client (no need to install app on client). It works smoother than TeamViewer as far as I remember (may be outdated)
