Ask HN: Modern alternatives to Guacamole as RDP gateway?
I’ve had a long history with RDP (https://taoofmac.com/space/protocols/rdp) and use it extensively on Linux with the new GPU-accelerated xrdp builds, but I have been looking for a modern replacement to Apache Guacamole that can work as a direct web-to-RDP bastion without requiring a database container, Java or a lot of overhead, and all I can find are 3-4 year old Rust/WASM projects in various states of abandonment.
Is there anything like that in active development? I know people will suggest KasmVNC, but that isn’t really what I am looking for (and the wire protocol isn’t as efficient as RDP).

- rcarmo 2y agoYes, but I need to connect to existing RDP servers. No way I'm going to be able to install anything else.
