I have been looking for a video on veyon for linux and never found one until I saw this in my sub box. Great work Chris!
Never heard of it but it looks awesome! I'll be using it. Perfect for maintaining my cluster and lan!
Why have I never seen this before!? Awesome! 👍👍👍
Thanks Chris, great video!
Jeez, always like your video. 👍
Thank you. I was just looking for such a solution.
Thank you, Chris.
This is awesome software! Thanks Chris
I send you 10 BAT because you are my favorit Linux RUclipsr. Greeting from Switzerland. PS: Stay healty
Thank you for the support Mario!
Thank you very much for this video!!!
thanks 👍 very helpful
In your video you show how to control PC's in Local LAN 192.x.x.x but you never talked about remote PC's in external IP networks as from one country or state to another ...
Can you comment on this? Thank You.
I have been using mRemoteNG on Windows and Remmina on Linux but there are definitely some features I like with Veyon - the buttons at the top scare me a little though (nothing like the feeling of going to reboot one system and accidentally rebooting all of your production servers lol). I will have to play with it some before making any decisions but thanks for the info.
Wow the Free Software community never fails to amaze me. Now all we need to do is develop a faster free cross platform codec or something that will make it less laggy and add OSX / ChromeOS support then this will be much better than the proprietary offerings.
Could I just use my ssh public key?
It seems like it is extremely out of date in AUR, because there are some compatibility issues.
Chris,
The company I work for just bought Solarwinds/Dameware MRC....could this be used the same way, for 300+ devices?
For the hostname idea you need the DHCP to add to routing tables or a FQDNS on your network. Strangely I've found nearly every commercial router I've had in the last 10 years do this automatically, at least for all my Linux desktops it works out the box. I have found some issues with Windows though.
This seems like a great teamviewer alternative and can even work with remote machines that roam around (with a vpn + hostname dns set up - aka via pfsense).
Exactly!
Is there also something like the Teamviewer presentations? So just inviting others to join a temporary session of viewing only... this would help me a lot.
@@ChrisTitusTech So which is better? I have always used Teamviewer 14.
Chris, Great video. But I am old school and will continue to use ssh and Ansible on my home network, with keys of course. Why fix what's not broken. And if I need a desktop, I have X2go installed on a Centos6 machine. Stay safe.
Each pc you want to control outside you home needs it’s own DDNS? Or does the software auto keep track of outside ip addresses?
Hi there,
As always a very clear video. One quick question though, I've tried both Teamviewer and Veyon client installation on my test Manjaro Linux. If i wanna take control of the Manjaro via Wondows 10, it is extremely slow . I click something and 15-20 second later a reaction on it. Am i missing something?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
Cheers,
Tam.
This seems like a nice idea for a classroom setup across a LAN. A bit cumbersome configuration though, but that's a once off thing. Have you tried seeing if it has something like NAT punch or reverse SSH? So you can use it for external stuff? Or would you think setting up a VPN for them should be the preferred way to have multiple external remotes as well?
Very nice video, I saw Qt designer on your Arch box what do you use QT for?
Any recommendations for controlling my pc from my mobile with android? Mostly to check on folding at home. Using manjaro on my pc.
veyon on the AUR shows outdated. is it ok to install it?
How well would this compare to something like parsec? Since that software doesn't let you host off of a linux machine.
Important here would be in particular the latency
thank you
I use remmina with the RDP protocol for Linux, FreeBSD and in the past also Windows, why should I switch?
Couple of questions: are the keys your SSH keys or are they just for veyon? If they are just for veyon, what type of keys are they? And finally, and most importantly, is the connection end to end encrypted?
As I understand you need to be i the same local network to be using this right? (by either being physcally in the same network or by a VPN)
Hello, can I only connect to the core environment (terminal) on debian?
It has good features in pack, can also be used remotely.
Very nice software! I use expensive TeamViewer now. I will definitely try this one.
Maybe you can do another video about using Veyon in AD environment?
I use teamviewer as well for connecting remotely, its a daily heavy use thing, but on lan i use remmina
What do you think about AnyDesk vs Veyon Master. Which one is better?
Managed to do the set up process with the master PC and connected it other PC but is says authentication failed. Any advise to fix this issue ?
What would be alternative to VNC ?
Veyon seems excellent.
How does it compare to the cross platform software teamviewer or remotely?
can you explain how to configure your hyper-v for same network
Yay
can we do super-sampling on 1080p monitor with amd and intelhd gpu?
I used Epoptes classroom management. The only downside is that it only works on Linux. Great video as always! Btw can you screen share to all computers?
thanks for a great video. Veyon is great and iv been using it for years in my classroom with desktops all on the LAN. But im having trouble connecting laptops connected via wifi, from my master machine on the LAN.... is this possible ?
I used dwservice and its great.
I want to ask after restarting the student machine, the student machine result is still connected on the server, but all are red, no image is displayed?
Before clicking on the vid I was sure this is about some TV remote control software for home media raspberry pi. On that note, maybe you have something on that topic? I haven't researched it yet but there has to be some remote control to buy and some software to run, so we could use the computer as TV media box.
Can it power on after a machine has been powered down though? through Wake on LAN or the like?
Cheese&Chive Yes, it is capable of WoL.
so you have complete remote control of the other pc, performing any tasks, not just rebooting, power functions, etc?
Stays unclear:
What's the difference between public and private keys?
Thanks for creating the content on this topic!
private keys = only you should have these as they are used to generate the encryption
public keys = can be shared to whoever/machines as all they can be used for is decryption
^ this is the basic concept of a private/public keypair
Hi Chris,
Thx for the video, I've been following you for a while now and have always found your videos very easy to follow. Quite a lot of Linux guides always assume a certain level of competence as a result if you have no knowledge of the application it becomes very confusing. I've gone through the Veyon documentation and I can't seem to find how to create the private and public keys. Can you please assist and perhaps add this to the video as I think this step will really help newer users. Thx again.
Does this only work on an intranet and not the internet.
Thanks for reviewing this program.
This seems to work when on my windows 10 system when I access a windows 11 computer, but for some reason it doesn't work when I access my linux mint xfce system from my windows 10 system. All I see is a loading graphic. Any idea why that would happen?
Would you be able to show me how to install the client through group policy
How do you add those products to your videos?
What are pros and cons with this over x2go?
Can you make a vid about the free NTLite version of windows? :3
Question: How is this equivalent to the examples you used for Zoom or Google classroom when it based on VNC and works only for directly reachable IPs?
I've read a lot of comments about this beeing a TeamViewer alterbnative... In this video you only showed the use case in one network. Would it work over the Internet?
I used TeamViever until they cut me of and expected me to pay them... Since then i'm using AnyDesk as alternative
Exactly! For this it seems you'd have to setup a "real" VPN (none of those proxy servers through VPN) so the remote computer seems as if it is on your local network.
So far the only "free" remote desktop system I've seen is Google's Chrome Remote Desktop. All others with such auto-connect feature tends to be a try-before-you-buy (like TeamViewer) or a full out purchase. And the major reason for such is the way they enable this is by hjaving a server to which each connects to find out the address to the remote computer - that server costs money to keep running, they have to at least recoup that money, though most try to make some profit as well. I think Google's able to do it for "free" just since it's a drop in a bucket for them, and it helps on their real income of data gathering and advertising.
What time do you do these live videos?
Is it also possible to receive files (not only transfer)?
hey good tutorial but how you install veyon client in a raspberry pi or linux machine ?
Hello dears! I installed the Veyon program in my class. The program is just super, it works great. But I have one problem! From the administrator panel, all computers are turned off, but unfortunately they do not turn on through the veyon.
I've had awful luck with vnc/xrdp and Mint cinnamon. Ended up using vino
vino is awesome! I agree with you, it is probably the easiest for direct access.
@@ChrisTitusTech But the performance is awful. At least in my case.
@@ChrisTitusTech I admit it's a bit dated, but it was the easiest option I could find and works with both andriod vnc player and Remmina I used for work. The stock vnc servers didn't play nice with Cinnamon.
If I need desktop access remotely while logged out, I just update lightdm.conf and killall lightdm and restart the desktop and I autologin remotely and vino starts as user.
I have home-brew code that email and GUI alerts me on any remote login attempts.
Well, I ended up using NoMachine (NX protocol - which is open source) on a mixed home eviroment - the Covid 19 made me install 3 linux machines for the kids (Mint Cinnamon, KDE Neon and something with XFCE). And all was easy for installing the server on the kids machines and I have no issue controlling them from a Windows machine ...
For the VNC - yes Vino is simple and works fine - NoMachine is just better ;)
@@jester1376 I use x2go for a Debian box. I do agree it's good (nx).
Chris, I despise the corporate mindset big tech has placed into users' heads that they must use proprietary software, lest they are not getting high security. God forbid anyone should have access to the source code because it just makes it so much easier to hack! I definitely, heavily contest that last point I placed there. You have total control of where your data goes with open-source software. If you see a data collector in the code - write it out! You have all control.
I was never able to view a Windows PC (authenticated with key level authentication) on a Linux Mint machine. What am I doing wrong?
Probably the built in Windows firewall. Start -> Run "wf.msc" -- from here you can make an exception for the Veyon application.
@@ChrisTitusTech I'll try that. Thanks 😊
Cinnamon crashes with all VNC programs by going into 2d fallback mode because of pushing 3d driver into 2d interface as far as I can tell. Mate or Xfce work.
I tried having Cinnamon in one user account, MATE in the other, on my machine. Cinnamon is a no go. MATE worked fine with TigerVNC. Sessions only worked if VNC was launched from a terminal, with it open, otherwise null desktop/black X only.
BUT CHRIS... What if we need to support someone remotely?
My nephew knows nothing about computers, and I don't own a MAC. I need to get him up and running. I don't have his IP address, and I... Well, you get the gist.
This is not a knock on you, and I know that you're super-busy, so you're probably only thinking about the usecase you have in mind.
HOWEVER, I am admittedly surprised, as you typically cover scenarios which support something such as support for remote support/administration software and things, not limiting to narrow usecase.
Anyhow. Thank you for all of your continuous and hardwork.
Thanks a lot for this video! I have one question for you, Chris. Can I use this program in Enterprise? Or it has some security issues 😂
If you leave it at Logon Authentication method it doesnt promt you to put a password at first place like assumingit already has one.... this option has no extra fields and it doesnt also accept any given password.
Also all the examples were with local pc's . What about remote locations? What would you need then? Each time the remote user to give you his public IP?
9:57...LOL...Chris...need to make that text screen explaining what happened a few moments longer with maybe some 'wah wah wah' sound bytes in the background. Not laughing at you, just the comedy of it all (I would have done the same thing!)
I found that using static ip addresses on my computers assigned as user machines was less troublesome.
I run Linux, MS & Apple. What is your recommendation for Apple (iMac and MacBook Pro)?
@Muddy Export try NoMachine www.nomachine.com/download
Did this software work even computers are not in the same subnetwork?
You do know keys can also be stolen by zoom as it has access to FS?
Is this only for Windows and Linux machines?
This is good, but looks like some serious hard ceiling caveats. The first is it seems to require hard coding of hosts, so, while that is ok for classrooms style work, it is not form mobile workers/support. Not clear on how it supports UAC elevation, and lastly, if we're just chucking VNC on each client, this probably has additional caveats in security terms. Again, that may be ok for classroom - it may not be ok for a wider audience..
Yeah, free remote access tool is good, but I still believe you get what you pay for. Hence, I would recommend using tools like logmein, R-HUB remote support servers, Gotomypc etc. for remotely accessing computers from anywhere anytime. They are easy to use and work well plus provides various features like file sharing, remote screen sharing etc.
Chis. Just here to say thank you for all you have tought us. I am now fully switched to Linux because of your teachings. I have one thing to request. playonlinux is not appreciated enough. It is really awesome software that sometimes work even better than lutris. I have successfully installed League of legends using playonlinux while when I use lutris I always seem to run into problems. Perhaps yu cold do a video on that. Also note I made no tweaks so far. The game is busy updating so fingers crossed on the game actually working 100%. I'm not sure If you'll see this as this video is already on the old side. But I will copy and paste this comment under your next video. If not for the tutorial. Just knowing you are able to see my gratitude will be enough.
Update. LOL did install and update. But I couldn't start a match. The crashes. But I'm nothing if not persistant
They just added it to our school
hi cris, can i replace team veiwer with veyon, how do i connect to my office computer behind a firewall that i dont have access to, I want to wont work from home. I ask this cause team viewer has locked me out behind a paywall.
Anydesk
this isnt a teamviewer replacement and was never designed to be so
You can access by using port forwarding so you really need the router access, you can try using zerotier though I haven't tried it yet.
Followed your steps but can't make this work across my VPN. Just sits at "Connecting" when trying to view a remote PC. Any tips?
VNC (or RDP with Windows machines) over SSH works well enough for that.
yay works without -S too ;)
we used this at school i never knew it was foss
Am I too blind or is there very little multi-monitor support like a button between monitor 1 and 2?
Veyon's purpose is classroom.
So it's not an alternative to TeamViewer - if it's only local or needs a vpn to « go outside ».
www.dwservice.net/ looks like an alternative to TeamViewer or AnyDesk.
I have that case in the background lmao
Can a mobile user use it?
This is great software but it has a tedious interface for adding new systems to the system list. And once you have the systems listed, say for a list of students' computers in a class, they can't be rearranged, copied, or moved to other rooms. You can only add or remove a computer. Still, for what it can do, it's great.
No Mac installer?
Im usinK Unified remote
I've seen that our school was using this to monitor students if they are doing what the are supposed to do
Thats why I won't download anything my school wants me to download. I'm not giving up privacy just for school
Supporting Google Chrome? Everybody needs to support Firefox, or anything else than Chrome based browsers. Chrome has almost 70% browser usage. It's essentially becoming a monopoly. RUclips is the only things where we still really don't have a choice, but on everything else we have choices.
+1, but i hate how many porn duckduckgo gives me
@@theepicnoobzilla6961 Perhaps there is a way to filter those out. And in the case of absolutely needing Google search, using startpage.com is at least better than using Google, I think. But duckduckgo has been good to me. I haven't seen porn.
Not Mac Os?
italc (veyons pre fork name) had mac os support but you needed to compile it yourself because you need a mac to even test it, something these developers do not have.
I am pretty sure mac support is either removed or not tested for the same reason in veyon.
hey your IP is visible at 4.'33
Oh god! The Windows desktop, it is burning my eyes!
At first i was excited but then i saw vnc...
And oh, forgot to ask, how do you deal with dynamic IPs? So far this is useless for me because 99,9% of internet deals are for dynamic IPs from obvious reasons and very few have professional static ones.
To ping a host name you need to do it as follows:
ping hostname.local
This uses your router to look up the host name, where hostname is the host name of your computer, and connect the computers. Just as follows will not work:
ping hostname
Ummmaaaaa love u my prince
I really don't think this video is all that helpful. And I tried Veyon, I've been tinkering all day and I don't recommend it myself. The documentation focuses entirely on Windows so your alright if you have a Win10 machine but if you've got a Linux one the official docs just leave you hanging. Even this video, he shows a Windows installation but what you'll soon find (at least as a Debian Buster user, I haven't tested other distros) is that all the documentation and videos say to 'uncheck the master box during installation' which just doesn't exist in the Debian 10 ISO. It just quietly installs like 90% of other deb files.I have a laptop and a desktop, both had UFW disabled for this install, both had same version of Veyon installed, both just installed quietly, no prompts or anything. Both machines are on the same network with static IPs. No matter what settings I used, I tried using keys, using plain auth, using internal & external VNC, you name it I probably tried it. The only thing I didn't mess with was LDAP as I don't know what it is and I probably don't have it. But I couldn't connect my laptop to my desktop which was what I wanted, and I later tried reversing the other way just to see if it works and I couldn't get that working either. It always just eternally sat at "connecting..." if you tried to view or control machines. Useless software and poorly documented. If you want any hair left in your scalp by the time you manage to configure it try something that doesn't add Linux as a tack-on afterthought.
He said zoom
i tried it .. but for me teamviewer is better
