There is OpenSTF which is similar but for physically remote controlling Smartphones. No need to install any client. Can be controlled from any browser, even from another smartphone.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openstf.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openstf.io</a>

Slightly off topic, but it&#x27;s often bugged me that remote desktop protocols push for things like video and audio redirection as if everyone was on gigabit networking, but I haven&#x27;t seen much in the way of pushing down down down on bandwidth.<p>Dameware Mini Remote Control from years ago used to have options to set grayscale and dithering and horizontal scanline interleaving(?) and slow refresh frequency and things, but I imagine going beyond that - a line sketch of the visible window borders and their titles, then let me draw a region to update with the mouse, scrape the text out and send that to me.<p>There&#x27;s ways to build TUIs inside CLIs, but what about squishing a GUI down towards a CLI-style-basics?

My problem isn&#x27;t really the protocol or the client. It&#x27;s that the device is behind a NAT, a corporate firewall or otherwise not reachable at a public IP address.<p>I assume this project doesn&#x27;t help with that?<p>For now I&#x27;m just sticking to products like TeamViewer.

This works pretty well, the only downside is ctrl-w can&#x27;t be captured so I keep closing the browser tab!

Is there anybody around here who tried both Guacamole and <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;novnc&#x2F;noVNC" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;novnc&#x2F;noVNC</a> - and can describe pros&#x2F;cons?

Love this project. I maintain a service around Guacamole[1] with slightly modified protocol and client built in nodejs instead of the included Java one.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.allmydesktops.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.allmydesktops.com&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;ve used this a ton with cuckoo sandbox. If you haven&#x27;t already set up your own cuckoo and use it to visir untrusted links and open untrusted files. It is fun! I like how guacamole allows you to interact with the session. I know a few (most?) Paid alternatives that won&#x27;t let you interact.

Has anyone set something like this up with sound + multiple viewers? I&#x27;ve been looking for someone to help me watch TV with friends who are remote. I used to use rabb.it but I think that died.
