Thanks for the reply. I am also used to installing services behind the firewall of remote offices. But I often find myself in the need to connect offices with a few PCs, from 2 to 5, and it is not always possible to mount a dedicated PC or even a Raspberry. This is why I imagined a central server that would allow connections in this way: PC 1-1 = IP1: Port 6901 PC 1-2 = IP1: Port 6902 PC 2-1 = IP2: Port 6901 ... PC N-1 = IP "N": Port 6901
Obviously the local firewall addressed the traffic coming from the IP of the Guacamole Server to the various PCs using the ports as a reference. About your answer on WOL, I find it useless if the Guacamole server is behind the firewall because I could very well take control of the server and from there send the Magic Packet using one of the many Linux utilities. The situation would be different if the server is centralized, but there would always be the problem of how to send the Magic Packet to the various networks via the Internet. Team Viewer uses the other PCs in the network. First I identify in the configuration the various PCs and when I want to turn on the PC number 5, for example, TeamViewer goes to see if there is another PC active and sends the Magic Packet from this to the number 5. I don't know how to do it, I never investigated it. However, this is convenient because if I have to connect to a PC that is turned off, I don't have to make another remote connection just to turn it on. Maybe there's another utility in Linux ivanmarcus wrote > (1) A separate instance per site would be the best, and what everyone > would recommend.
