Hi Lynna, I’m running in production Guacamole serving over 500 hosts in total, a mix of Windows,Linux and Mac, and it’s been a breeze for almost 1 year now. We’ve setup Windows to go through RDP, while Linux and Macs via VNC.
One note here is that Mac’s VNC is quite laggy even running it natively between two Macs, so expect that. I’d suggest to keep the VPN in order to reach your Guacamole servers, for added security. One nice advantage for Windows VM’s is that if you integrate Guacamole with your AD, you can have RDP in browser automatically login to your Windows hosts, with the user’s guacamole credentials (essentially the AD credentials). Your use case sounds perfect for Guacamole.
