And FWIW, you COULD use port-forwarding on your router, and point ONLY the VNC port to your Mini. From there, while away, just use the Go To Server command, and enter
VNC://YourHomeIpAddreess, and you'd be in. Of course that also opens up your Mini to exploitation by rogue actors There are good reasons why this isn't the best solution, but it is a solution, and it's free.
