Seems they have periodic anxiety attacks about their free product being used commercially. There's a whitelist procedure for people who have been incorrectly identified as commercial users, but it seems to be a bit hit and miss. I suspect too many customers both paying and non-paying + too small a help desk.<br /> <br /> Yeah, for what I want VNC is actually better. It doesn't have a hissy fit if one or both devices are using a VPN for instance. I was using VNC for my linux boxes anyway so I've dumped Anydesk and put VNC on everything I want to connect to & from. Haven't missed it at all so far.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42855.3&return_msg=42855.2" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42855.3"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42855_4"></a><div class="message" id="message_42855_4"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time"> 4 Apr 2022 16:10</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Peter (BOUGHTONP) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 4 Apr 2022 21:16"></span></span> <span class="message_count">4 of 12</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42855.4">42855.4</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42855.2#a42855_2" target="_self">42855.2</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Seems like a glorified VNC?</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42855.4&return_msg=42855.2" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42855.4"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42855_5"></a><div class="message" id="message_42855_5"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Peter (BOUGHTONP)<span class="message_time"> 4 Apr 2022 21:28</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 5 Apr 2022 10:28"></span></span> <span class="message_count">5 of 12</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42855.5">42855.5</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42855.2#a42855_4" target="_self">42855.4</a></div> <div class="message_body"> That's what I figured, but wasn't sure if there was some must-have feature.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42855.5&return_msg=42855.2" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42855.5"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42855_6"></a><div class="message" id="message_42855_6"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: william (WILLIAMA)<span class="message_time"> 5 Apr 2022 09:39</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 5 Apr 2022 10:28"></span></span> <span class="message_count">6 of 12</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42855.6">42855.6</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42855.2#a42855_4" target="_self">42855.4</a></div> <div class="message_body"> No, that's exactly what it is. There are plenty of bells and whistles in the GUI but these days most of them are either there or accessible some other way with most of the varieties of VNC. Anyway, for linux I'm more likely to use PuTTY for remote stuff. I do find a graphical connection handy if I'm not quite sure what I want, but I'll know if I see it. Bit easier than trying to grep when I don't know what to stick on the right hand side.<br /> <br /> Not quite sure why I was using Anydesk as opposed to VNC.
