Cloudflared tunnel and kudos

[prestonmcafee]

My question is whether anyone knows how to use NoMachine through a Cloudflared tunnel.  Cloudflared does not seem to support the NX protocol.  It does support SSH but I was unable to connect two Linux (Ubuntu) machines even when they were in the same network; meanwhile NX works fantastically well, so much better than any other remote desktop ([removed]) I’ve tried.

NoMachine is wonderful.  I’m connecting Linux to Linux and it works great.  I did have one issue, and it was solved by post #50090.  I wanted to put a +1 to that post — I regularly connect to three Linux machines from four other Linux machines, and only one of the remote machines had the problem described in post #50050 (no keyboard or mouse unless recently touched on the remote machine). I wonder if making the solution (add DisplayServerExtraOptions “-eventdelay 0” to the config file) shouldn’t be the default; it produced no downside in my other two remote machines.

Hi,

we haven’t recently tested although we did in the past and had no problems. What specific Cloudflare product are you using?

I wonder if making the solution (add DisplayServerExtraOptions “-eventdelay 0” to the config file) shouldn’t be the default; it produced no downside in my other two remote machines.

NoMachine’s default behaviour is always to give precedence to the input events from the local user over the ones from the remote user, so that the local user will always have the possibility to re-take control of the session.

I use the cloudflare tunnel through cloudflared, run in a docker container, but I think the problem is that cloudflare tunnels don’t support the nx protocol.

Makes sense about the default behavior; since I only use NoMachine when I am remote from specific home PCs, for my use case there is no local user.

Thanks!

You’re right. Connecting with SSH would probably work and to do that you need one of the Enterprise products installed, they support SSH connections. If you are using the free version, you could try with an SSH tunnel maybe?
