Does anyone have a solution for a cheap remote KVM? All the solutions I’ve found are around $100 and I don’t want to spend that much.

I might even settle for a portable KVM if it’s really cheap.

I have a laptop and an Android tablet that I could repurpose, if that helps at all.

    Not exactly sure of your use case, but maybe this cpuld work for you. I have a testbed workstation that i crash sometimes. I put the power on a shelly plug, bios set to power on after ac loss.

    Problem is- how do I enter the disk encyption password remotely? And more importantly, how do i do it cheaply?

    I just adjusted the wifi config to join my network instead of broadcasting an AP.

      That’s neat. But it’s keyboard only, no video? So not great for troubleshooting boot issues, but great for expected password prompts?
