Hi,
I think the whole point of Guacamole is that it's a centralized system,
allowing access through any web browser without the need for a client.
Basically once you've configured all your devices to talk with
Guacamole, you can access them all from a central point.
Myself I have a small setup when I have devices from two locations all
coming together in Guacamole. This does require some ports to be opened
and forwarded but once that's done, it's a fire and forget sort of deal.
Summary: This product is supposed to eliminate the need for client software.

Hello,
Guacamole newbie here and I have client questions I just can’t find
answers to. This may not be how to go about asking but I am going to
give it a shot.
I have Guacamole server up and running and have created an ssh
connection to a colocated server with direct internet connection and
dedicated IP address. I am able to connect to it through my Guacamole
Home no problem.
What confuses me is if there is not a client I can run on computers
behind a router/firewall that connects to Guacamole server and allows
me to connect to them through the Guacamole server as well, what is
the point? If I have to create a connection providing an IP address
and port to connect through on my Guacamole Home and then port forward
from my firewall to the desired computer to be able to access it, I
can just use RDP, SSH, or whatever native client to connect at that
point. Am I missing something? Is there a client after all that I can
run on say a Windows machine behind a firewall and still connect to it
via my Guacamole server similar to a LogMeIn or Teamviewer service?
Sorry for my ignorance and if this is not how to submit a question
please inform me as to proper method.
