My apartment's ISP uses Carrier-Grade NAT, which meant that things like Parsec, Windows Remote Access, and VNC were out of the question. However, I found out quickly that it wasn't going to be as straightforward to remote access my PC (or so I thought). To remedy this, I bought a Lenovo ThinkPad Chromebook off of eBay for $45 and put GalliumOS on it, intending to use it as a light, school-oriented laptop that I could carry around campus, while using Parsec to access my PC when I'm away.

However, now that things are starting to return to normal, I haven't been spending as much time in my room as I need to in order to do my work. I'm a digital media major, so I use my PC a lot for very resource intensive tasks, which was fine during 20, seeing how COVID-19 led to almost everyone being home all the time anyway. I recently moved into an apartment that's off-campus for my second year of college. So, I want to preface this by saying that I don't usually write reviews, especially not like this, but I decided to make an exception, just this once.

CGNAT got you down? Parsec doesn't work for you? Use TeamViewer, trust me.
