@wagon_ is a windows guy, he might have some more resources to chime in if he's available today
I'll take a look in a few minutes
should i dm him?
I pinged him so he'll reply here when he's free
oh okay
Alright I'm back. Could you give some more info on the use case you're trying to solve with VNC, just looking for remote desktop or does it have to be VNC specifically?
yeah remote desktop
but it have to be vnc
I don't do much Windows-stuff these days, but the only one I ever messed with in the past was RealVNC, though it is a paid product.
There are some open source free ones I see maintained, TigerVNC, TightVNC, UltraVNC, and I bet they all get the job done relatively well, but the UX looks a bit antiquated if that matters to you
Wagon will def be a better opinion since I know he does Windows sysadmin-ing, but with it being the holidays it might be a bit before he's back
tiger vnc doesn't have a windows server
i'll try tight
maybe if you could provide a link

also would it work from an outside network
like my pc is in my home network and my viewer is in the college network
Using any type of remote desktop/VNC externally brings a fun challenge when it comes to securing it. I'd recommend something like a Cloudflare tunnel to access it securely from outside your network without exposing it publicly https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/tutorials/vnc-client-in-browser/
Render a VNC client in browser · Cloudflare Zero Trust docs
Cloudflare can render a Virtual Network Computer (VNC) terminal in your browser without any client software or configuration required.
i have ssh made for this circunstances
does help in any way?
Not sure how that would relate to accessing it externally, if you already made a secure solution for SSH-ing externally, then it would be a similar process for VNC, just a different protocol/port to configure in your firewalls/virtual networks
man i'm only doing this because i switch to BSD
and can not find the way to install teamviewer
So the way I would set things up if I wanted a remote desktop at home but access from anywhere (without buying a paid service) would be:
1. Pick a remote desktop server (VNC, RDP, etc)
2. Throw
cloudflared on there: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/get-started/create-local-tunnel/
3. Connect through it securely through the tunnel from outside of the private network: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/use-cases/rdp/
That guide is for RDP, but a similar process would be used for VNCcould i use the home network pc like a host for a webpage and that webpage been my desktop
or any program that i need
I think that's what this guide does
But yeah cloudflare tunnels let you run any service locally through cloudflare, including web servers n stuff locally that are accessible publicly only through cloudflare without exposing the server itself through your network
or do you know any in web android-studio webpage
there is github spaces with vscode in browser
Yeah that or if you want more control, JetBrains Gateway
idk about in the browser for gateway, that's more like remote dev
link?
does it build apks?
JetBrains
JetBrains Gateway - Remote Development for JetBrains IDEs
Get started with remote development workflows from your favorite IDE in no time.
No but this would be used to remotely run android studio stuff through it (at least I remember seeing something about it supporting that)
One sec and I'll try to find a guide
I know you can run intellij on there for sure, just not seeing anything on Android Studio specifically (which is based on it)
Hey could you find the guide?
Not for android studio specifically unfortunately
But feel free to give it a shot, it's based on IntelliJ which I know works for sure, so it might work with that
thanks i'l ldo that tomorrow
