![]() You might also need to install go and add it to the path. Not bad if predeployed but problematic if over the phone. On windoze, you also need to install ssh which requires some oddball options to chocolatey or you won't actually get the server. You may have to run ~/go/bin/ssh-p2p if ~/go/bin isn't in path. And you may be able to predeploy it to the machines. But it may work in a pinch without go path and if it doesn't work without sudo you can try it again with sudo and you can clean up the mess once you get in. but this is too many steps for over the phone. GOPATH could be set, first and directories created, etc. You can ALMOST install it with a simple commandĮxcept that go packages don't install for all users and sudo go get also breaks the user specific ~/go/ subdirctory so it won't work without sudo and your package is still not system wide. Chrome remote desktop has two modes: one requires the user giving you a random code and doesn't let you push security sensitive buttons but you have to have them do it and the other requires you to know the user's google password.įor remote access through two NATs, ssh-p2p looks interesting, and then you could use SSH tunelling of VNC. Ubuntu 20.04/wayland/gnome breaks chrome remote desktop even though it worked with wayland on 18.04. It is unfortunately written in javascript (nodeJS). Meshcental doesn't appear to support wayland. Rustdesk looks somewhat interesting but for the rendevous server you have a choice between a overburdened public servers, a very limited self hosted server, or a paid server that they won't even sell you right now as they are rewriting it. I don't think those are fully baked, though. There is some software that combines libp2p (go-libp2p-ssh) and ssh (or wireguard (hyprspace). ![]() Probably a good idea to have two completely independent ways to get into any remote machine. However, you do have a limited number of licenses that may cover it. If what you need to debug is a user's VPN connection, then a remote access solution that depends on the VPN is going to be a problem. ![]() And you already have a different option you could potentially use for offsite machines. Now since your machines are mostly on a local LAN or a prexisting VPN setup and you may be able to set them up in advance in person or using your system deployment strategy, the issues are surmountable. VNC is but the implementations that fixed the other problems often were not. Many versions have GPL license instead of a permissive license which will discourage sane developers from working on it. If you are helping someone do something that involves video VNC isn't going to cut it. When you add to this operating systems that won't let you even download a file from the command line without installing software (which involves downloading files) and browsers that won't let your run files you have downloaded. Add in the difficulties of a legally blind user, someone with alzheimers, or someone who is just exceedingly difficult to give instructions to. super simple over the telephone setup on the device being worked on (server).There is wayvnc, now (no debian/ubuntu packages). Wayland has broken nearly everything other than a simple application displaying windows and it has been very slow to fix those. Tunneling over SSH or a VPN isn't so bad except for the telephone setup and NAT issues. Some versions lack encryption, though this has improved. And that has led to declining usage and a declining number of people motivated to fix the problems. Unfortunately, VNC has not aged well and, unfortunately, its problems, while they can be individually worked around, have a way of compounding themselves. It might even be your best option which is a sad commentary on the state of remote access software given the state of VNC. Our founders are the original inventors of VNC, and twenty five years’ experience has gone into our award-winning software.For your specific usage case, it may work. It utilizes VNC technology to connect you to a remote computer anywhere in the world, watch its screen in real-time, and take control. VNC Connect is the latest version (6+) of our cross-platform remote access software for personal and commercial use. VNC is freely and publicly available and is in widespread active use by millions throughout industry, academia and privately. The two computers don’t even have to be the same type, so for example you can use VNC to view an office Linux machine on your Windows PC at home. ![]() VNC Connect aka RealVNC is remote control software which allows you to view and interact with one computer (the “server”) using a simple program (the “viewer”) on another computer anywhere on the Internet. ![]()
