Installation
Installation required to share keyboard and mouse
To do this we ensure that the client either has has a IPV6 address or a public IPV4 address. We use the use the popular open repository known as Barrier KVM.
What is Barrier kvm?
"Barrier is software that mimics the functionality of a KVM switch, which historically would allow you to use a single keyboard and mouse to control multiple computers by physically turning a dial on the box to switch the machine you're controlling at any given moment. Barrier does this in software, allowing you to tell it which machine to control by moving your mouse to the edge of the screen, or by using a keypress to switch focus to a different system."
