Further to carbonbl's point though, this may be aided by the fact my office is one of the larger biomedical data centers in Canada so our network and Barracuda VPN are pretty robust. I have had fine experiences with Windows Remote Desktop running current versions of Solidworks and MasterCAM. Professional "VPN appliance" hardware like the Cisco/Dell stuff suggested earlier is good, but a free, software-based wireguard setup is so excellent that it only makes sense to invest in serious VPN hardware if you're a big company that requires that level of physical infrastructure (and/or already has some sort of buy-in to the vendor's ecosystem with their other networking needs). The great thing about this is that it can be fast and secure, runs on pretty much any hardware (only requirements are a "server" machine that can be anything with a modern OS and a router that can port forward) and it's totally free. There are lots of guides on line for setting up the rest, although you should also have some basic networking knowledge to help troubleshoot issues. You will need to use port forwarding to forward the wireguard port from your router to whatever machine is running the VPN. It's not trivial to set up, but it is pretty easy compared to OpenVPN. It also lets you very easily do certain things like only route traffic to certain IP addreses through the VPN, so your web browsing etc doesnt go through the VPN if not needed. It's much less resource intensive than OpenVPN. Wireguard is extremely fast, secure and has a lot of ease of use/quality of life features compared to setting up your own OpenVPN server software. While we have this on a dedicated server, it could easily run on a desktop or other low cost machine (even a $30 Raspberry Pi). What we've been using for a while now is running a VPN server independently from the router, using Wireguard software. This will result in increased latency and lowered bandwidth. For the processors on consumer grade routers, OpenVPN is fairly taxing and you can easily max out the router CPU with typical home office bandwidth if your regular web browsing activities, downloading, video/music streaming are going through the VPN connection alongside your business critical tasks. with the router's built in VPN service), lots of home/small business routers will be running OpenVPN as the server software. If you're running a VPN server on your router (i.e. There are a couple possible reasons for the wide range in quality of VPN experiences reported in this thread. So if your bandwidth is good shouldn't be an issue.Īs for space mouse I haven't tried it, I will give it a go once I get back to ASU, been out on quarantine, have it on one PC will remote into other and see if it works on SW remotely. I run SW and HSMWorks, Surfcam Traditional and a couple of other graphic software's with no lag, feels like I am sitting at the shop, but am home in my PJ's, plugin along.īeen doing this for over 2 years, no need to have the software on my personal PC anymore, hit the remote shortcut and BAM! connected and working. sorry I was on the remote PC at work so that proves you cannot tell which PC your working on using WIN 10 to Win10 remote desktop they look the same. I remote into all of the shops PC's from anyone of my 3 home PC's via VPN, lucky ASU has T1 or better speed (700 Mbps download and 900 Mbps upload) and my COX internet is around 130 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload. WIN10pro to Win10PRo works awesome! My wife has used some others and not as fluid\smooth.
