Security concerns

Concerning Steamlink.. my son lives primarily with his father but will be with me most of the summer. He has a steam account on the computer that is at my house and now he wants to play at his dad's. They want to use his dad's chromebook which I guess will not download steam but can download the steamlink. They kept discussing around me that he was going to bring the chromebook over to link it. I said absolutely not..I am not having his dad's chromebook linked to my computer. Am I wrong? I think this is very much a privacy issue.?

Steam link will not allow your son to play games from the computer at your house while at another house on another network. Unless you have a vpn setup between those two networks? But I suspect that is not the case

You can use any Wi-Fi to play as long as you set it up with your computer and Wi-Fi first
