Open-Source Remote Desktop via HTTP
We have been using LogMeIn for while, but have been taken 'hostage' twice now with sudden price/packages changes.
Does anyone know of good a Remote Desktop via HTTP solution which is open-source. It could be a set of tools/libs/code, not necessarily a finished product.
- penguinlinux 13y agoWhat exactly are your needs? What type of remote desktop solution are you looking for?
- kelvin0 13y agoBasic remote desktop access, doesn't even need to support file transfer/clipbaord. Most important aspect is that it should simply setup without the need for a VPN access (same as LogMeIn)
- runjake 13y agoJust use a modern, secure variant of VNC or RDP. Most have reverse connect options. Assign (dynamic?) DNS entries to everything else that needs managed. Don't make it unnecessarily hard.
- fuj 13y agoI have made a solution for a client sometime ago that, among other features, allowed him to connect to a vnc server from his browser without any plugin, just with HTML5\JS. If there was a lot of interest, that could be modified to provide some similar features as logmein
- kelvin0 13y agoOK, can it do secure connections without having to tunnel into the network without VPN? Same as LogMeIn for example?
- razeonex 13y agoYou can use NoVNC it's a really good VNC solution based on HTML5
- kelvin0 13y agoOK, I'm looking at it now. I will install and try it. Thanks for the tip!
