    Been using them for years.

    It’s completely free, open source and has:

    • Unsupervised (for headless servers) or supervised (helping out relatives) access
    • Easily file transfers
    • Cross-copy paste
    • Identification server (what gives out connection IDs) can be self-hosted or you can use theirs for free
    • Can control PCs from mobile app (though not vice versa apparently they support this now!)
    • Experimental web browser client.

    EDIT: I forgot, but it’s also much better at compressing video effectively than realVNC, which is what I used to use. Performance and latency remains fairly good even at low bitrate.

    For a little while, I even used to play point and click games remotely with my brother over it. Probably too much latency for an action game though.
