Careful, it doesn't appear to support encrypting traffic between systems, which means anyone can intercept mouse movements and keyboard presses, and introduce their own.
- buserror 8y agoMy use is at home, on my own local switch, on the same desk. If anyone can sniff that, I already have serious other problems.
- craftyguy 8y agoSure, but others may not realize this so I thought it was worth pointing out... since many folks here in the thread seems to be using synergy in the office.
- morganvachon 8y agoThanks. I'm the sysadmin at work, there are twelve employees, and none of them know much more than how to turn on a PC and use Office and Quickbooks. I'll definitely put it through its paces at home before bringing it to the office though.
- craftyguy 8y agoConsider folks who have gained unauthorized access to your network, possibly by one of your 12 employeers plugging in some random usb drive or clicking on some email attachment... that's what you'd have to worry about more than them.
- morganvachon 8y agoI consider that kind of thing every day as part of my job. :-) Email is locked down pretty tight and I'm the only one who uses flash drives. That said, I won't use a utility like this at work until I've fully vetted it at home first. Besides, if a bad actor has breached my network, I have bigger problems than keylogging between two workstations.
- ScottBurson 8y agoIt's easy to tunnel via an SSH connection, if you know how to use port forwarding. Just forward port 24800 from the client to the server, then tell Synergy to connect to localhost on the client. I do it all the time.
