Need Advice on creating a small network.
Hi,
My partner got a dream job and now we're moving. I work for a small company that plans on expanding in the future. I put in my notice and my boss asked me if I wanted to work remotely. I said "Sure!". He then told me in a much nicer way to figure it out lol. So I am now IT coming from sales and order fullfilment.
I really just need to set up a small network to print from anywhere securely for 3 users (my boss, me, cfo) that has room to grow. I can't use remote desktop apps as we will need my current computer for an onsite individual.
I was thinking of using surfshark and open VPN to set up a dedicated IP to connect the office network. The problem is one of the label printers is like 15 years old and I have only figured out how to reliably connect it through usb001 port.
What am I missing? I'm new to all this and just kind of got thrown into the fire.
Edit: Sorry I forgot to mention that we are using windows 11.
Edit 2: I got a lot of great advice. Thank you everyone!
