    Really awesome application that allows you to use the portability and security of SSH, but also enjoy the UI of whatever desktop you have installed. I use this all the time to connect back to my desktop at home that only allows key based authentication, so I can feel comfortable it is secure and usable!

    also, forgot to mention. I have used this to remote back to my desktop so I can give presentations to people at conferences. So, all I do is use my laptop as a jump host to get back to my powerful desktop back at home can do live demos over my phone mobile hotspot.

    The encryption is too weak:

    • only DES , 3DES AES-CTR
    • with HMAC SHA1 (only!).
    • no ed25519

    Must be tunneled (with SSH) first if you want it to be secure.

    Could you share which version you reviewed? X2Go uses OpenSSH X11-Forwarding to connect, which can be encrypted with AES SHA2.

    Said about X2Go as an alternative

    elrey741 Really awesome for Linux users to remotely connect to their computers through a secure connection. Allows for transmission of audio from the client, and works really well even with slow connections. To summarize: secure by default (because using ssh), good even in low latency, good for presentations, and best alternative to RDP for linux users.

    Ugotsta Great open source alternative, though it doesn't have mobile clients for Android/iPhone.

    Works remarkably good and it has sound as well.
