Wireguard was remarkably easy to set up. Knowing nothing about it beyond “it’s a vpn thing right?” I set it up, tested it, and sent a qr code with setup instructions to my friend all from my phone without moving off the sofa. He was up and running in 5 minutes.
I need friends like yours. I’ll give you a hint on what I’m working with.
I built a mid-low end gaming PC for this person to game with them, since I live out of town and wanted to maintain a connection with them.
I setup Windows
I installed steam
Created their account
I made sure all their peripherals were good to go
I installed the game that I wanted to play with them before I left
I even gave them a walk through tutorial on how to get the games
At a later time, I decide that I want to try and play that game with them. Keep in mind I’m far out of town. When I call them and tell them to boot up the game. They say they can’t find it (impossible).
I spend like an hour on the phone trying to get them to boot up the game. Finally, someone who knows anything and that lives with them goes to check why steam, or the game isn’t there.
They were in FUCKING Razer Synapse
I spent an hour with them on the phone explaining every detail on how to get to the game and they spent that hour in Razer synapse.
I gave up anything technical from that point on. Luckily they’re much better at things now, but the people around me now, aren’t so much better.
