For the parents PC I use RAdmin (https://www.radmin.com/ordering/index.php)...basically, a fancy version of public VNC.
For everyone else: I'll use Zoho Assist. There's a free version, but it doesn't really like Secure Desktop. However, if you run cmd and then use the runas command and launch pad stuff that way bypassing the Secure Desktop prompt, you are fine.
Hamachi with TightVNC might work as well: I think you can connect up to 5 PCs for free in a private VPN network. I tried it and it just wouldn't work for me.
Oh and you just need a "donor" box for RAdmin. So basically I just RAdmin to one media PC in the house, then I can "VNC" from this PC over RAdmin to any other PC in the house. So it's $50 and a few free copies of TightVNC and you're golden.
Edit: I use a DNS service from www.no-ip.com so I could use a hostname like parents.somehostname.com and then I punched a hole through their router's firewall to listen on the port I needed for RAdmin.
Radmin Server https://www.radmin.com/download/ allows up to 5 interacting sessions with the console, can be AD integrated by user or group and records the login / out to an html for tracking. If you need more than 5 at the same time you just purchase additional bolt on “cals”. We use it extensively with apps processing data on the console but have members of IT support , Devs and users all able to “remote in” to check on the processing or modify as necessary. Only the server is licenced, the client application is free / can be installed on unlimited machines. Also 30 day evaluation to try.
I also checked the site for open ports. Results are listed below:
rDNS record for 65.254.227.240: 65-254-227-240.yourhostingaccount.com Not shown: 981 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE 23/tcp filtered telnet 25/tcp filtered smtp 80/tcp open http 135/tcp filtered msrpc 139/tcp filtered netbios-ssn 161/tcp filtered snmp 443/tcp open https 445/tcp filtered microsoft-ds 1234/tcp filtered hotline 1433/tcp filtered ms-sql-s 1434/tcp filtered ms-sql-m 3306/tcp filtered mysql 3333/tcp filtered dec-notes 4899/tcp filtered radmin 5800/tcp filtered vnc-http 5801/tcp filtered vnc-http-1 5900/tcp filtered vnc 5901/tcp filtered vnc-1 20000/tcp filtered dnp
Interesting ports:
It says that there is a database connected to this website (port 1433, 1434 and 3306) Maybe this site is someone's server were the owner stores data?
Port 139 is known as NetBIOS, used for local network data sharing (https://www.lifewire.com/netbios-software-protocol-818229)
Every port that is VNC related can be used for a remote connection (https://mediarealm.com.au/articles/vnc-port-numbers/) Port 4899 is also used for remote acces (https://www.radmin.com/support/forum/?PAGE_NAME=read&FID=19&TID=12601)

oh, there were numerous attempts... Radmin is tested and used successfully worldwide by technology leaders, government and financial organizations: AT&T, Bloomberg, Bombardier, even NATO uses Radmin. Fortune 100 companies using Radmin: https://www.radmin.com/about/clients.php?clients_by_industry=&clients_by_region=&fortune100=y
Hmm, have you double checked all formatting?
One thing to test is to see if your ethernet comes up as part of your wireless LAN.
Connect your computer via ethernet and run this to see your network, if the share does not show up then you will need to configure your router to give ethernet access to wireless LAN.
