BadAsAl :
What about using something like Teamviewer or LogMeIn or Chrome Remote Desktop to connect to her computer and take it over, then you can do whatever you want from her computer and it will appear as if it comes from her computer. Seems easier than using a VPN to route your traffic through her machine.
That wouldn't work because she needs to use her computer and, I only need to appear to connect from there occasionally, so VPN would be perfect. Also, she wouldn't be able to repair anything that might go wrong, and I'm half a world away. Now if it was MY computer, no problem. So, I really need something with a very low learning gradient; basically double-click the icon to start; click on the X to shut off.
Thanks for the suggestions though.
