  • Chrome Remote Desktop. How it works?

    From Mrde@21:1/5 to All on Wed Oct 19 04:54:23 2022
    Chrome Remote Desktop

    Does it open any port, etc?
    How it make connection?
    And is it safe?
    Did anyone try it and use it?
    Is this better then other remote protocols?

    I did search internet for this question, but can't find any conclusive
    answer.

    One question you might ask, is why they needed
    to write this, when solutions already exist.

    Any software which is Internet facing, must be very
    simple, in order that it can be verified at source
    level. If the downloads for this package are large,
    I would have my suspicions about potential bug level.
    (Defects per thousand lines of code.)

    Since this involves installing a software on the
    serving host, a typical server administrator would
    not allow that. Because it's an attack surface that
    must be monitored for intrusions.

    The keywords might be:

    chromoting XMPP WebRTC VP8 Jingle

    and that does not dig up much in a search.

    Of course it opens a(any) port(s). That's how networking works.
    Etc? Etc what?

    How it make connection?

    Standard ways. TCP/UDP.

    And is it safe?

    Depends on what you consider safe.

    Did anyone try it and use it?

    Yes. I'm sure many anyone's tried it and have used it.

    Is this better then other remote protocols?

    Better than some. Worse than others. Depends.

    Networking via https

    HTML5 Canvas.

    Have a look at https://guacamole.apache.org/ which does a similar thing,
    if ye want to build a remote gateway, though strongly recommend a VPN if
    ye do.

    Thanks for your answers.
    I'll try all ideas.

    What do you think about X2GO?

    Highly recommended. Tunnels all communication via SSH. Next best thing
    to setting up a VPN. Maybe even better.
