Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your suggestion of using TeamViewer, but I am specifically interested in using Guacamole with VNC to connect to my Mac. I agree that Guacamole’s advantage is that it does not require any client software installation, but I am wondering why it is slower than native Mac-to-Mac screen sharing. Do you have any idea why this might be the case? Have you tried using Guacamole with VNC to connect to a Mac and compared it to other methods of screen sharing?
