Access my mac mini remotely
You can use Back to My Mac to connect to your Mac mini over the Internet. Using Back to My Mac, you can access all of the Macs you want. You can share files and use Screen Sharing to control the remote Mac from anywhere you are connected to the Internet. Back to My Mac requires a router that supports NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP) or Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) to share services.
Set up Back to My Mac
On each Mac you want to use with Back to My Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click iCloud. If you aren't already signed in to iCloud, enter the Apple ID you use with iCloud, and then click Sign In. Select Back to My Mac. Follow the instructions you see to turn on sharing services, select “Wake for network access,” or make any other changes necessary for Back to My Mac.
Connect to your Mac mini
In the sidebar of a Finder window, choose Finder > Preferences, click Sidebar, and then select Back to My Mac in the Shared section. In the left sidebar of a Finder window, click Show next to Shared to expand that section. Click the Mac you want to use, and then click Connect As or Share Screen.
what is the best way to access my mac mini remotely?
