I had Chrome RDP access on a few machines setup earlier, since I could come in-person with my team for security competitions.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Appreciate the writeup too, it was a fun read. Hope you don't mind but I have a few more questions.

How were you able to get Chrome RDP access setup without admin privileges? I assume this is automatically blocked via group policy.

Now that you have Chrome RDP setup, how were you able to access these machines from outside the network from home?

"since I could come in-person with my team for security competitions" I'm really intrigued now. What were these security competitions about and were they part of a class you were in?
