Looking for help to make it so I can stream media files on my computer at home to my phone whilst at school. I think the only way to do it is through VPN? How do businesses use the workplace feature in the windows network settings.
Its not the only way but it is a tried and true one that works, albeit in a more complicated way then you may want to deal with. Personally I use an ASUS router in tandem with ASUS AICloud. Giving me access to all my media and documents on the go. You could also use your email account, if you use windows 10 and it is tied to a email address, by file sharing with said email. It is all a question of how you want to go about things. If your going the VPN route I suggest you read the tutorial below.
