Show HN: Remote Desktop from any browser

How does it fair against a firewall or behind a router? Is it just a simple client for convenience or does it provide a server too? Cause being able to pass through a firewall would be worth paying for, otherwise I still have the same problems as using a normal client.

This works through websockets. So if you (the client) can access this website, you can RDP to your machines.

Just so you know, it doesn't require websockets. There is a HTTP tunnel fall back (at least there was one when I worked with guac).

Quick search seems to suggest the HTTP fallback persists: https://glyptodon.org/jira/browse/GUAC-1474

But how does it work if I can't normally RDP to my computer due to NAT router?

ngrok.com (freemium) or https://github.com/mmatczuk/go-http-tunnel (open source, needs some afford, very fast and easy configurable)

btw. @op go-http-tunnel would provides you with great base for a "branded" ngrok like client for your users.

Thanks for the link. I have been planning on doing this since most people don’t keep their machines with public IP.
