I'm gonna have to try Jump to see how she works. LMI is cheap, quick, easy, and secure enough for most places. Granted, that's always been using old school PPTP.Īs for resources, it's just me and 100+ users at the day job and 10-15 personal clients. The encryption overhead always seems to kill any available bandwidth for doing anything. My experiences w/ VPN have never been good. LMI logs the username and IP address of any sessions, I pull these and review monthly. With LMI, you still need to get into each individual machine after getting into the account. As well depending on the environment you may need to pay someone to come in.Ĭompromise the VPN and you've got the same thing. The resources involved are technical know how and time.

That being said, not everyone has the resources to develop a free VPN solution with free 2 factor and RDP. This in contrast to a VPN with 2 factor and an RDP session. Now you can use Alt + Caps Lock to switch between screens without Caps Lock changing its states.Īlso if you only need 2 screens you can set dexpot to use only 2 desktops which will make alt + caps lock quick toggle for remote desktop.The best solution will always be VPN/RDP, with LMI I just need to compromize your LMI account and I own your network. Ctrl + Caps Lock becomes Ctrl + Scroll Lockĭone. Alt + Shift + Caps Lock becomes Alt + Shift + Scroll Lock Alt + Caps Lock becomes Alt + Scroll Lock

Now use Autohotkey to make redirections (this way Caps Lock will be prevented from changing it's state): GetKeyState, state, Capslock

Set screens overview to Ctrl + Scroll Lock.

Set previous desktop to Alt + Scroll Lock.

Set next desktop to Alt + Scroll Lock (If like I you don't have scroll lock use windows on-screen keyboard to press 'ScrLk').

I like to be able to quickly switch with left hand only You can use Dexpot and Autohotkey to set up a shortcut like Alt + Caps Lock, without Caps Lock annoying state changes ( Good if you don't have Scroll Lock)Īt first annoying to set up, but in the long term the most comfortable.

It took a short amount of time to get used to, but this setup has worked well for me without the need for additional software or more than one shortcut. An example would be Windows Key+ E to open Windows Explorer, which will get you to the local file system, not the remote one. One caveat Luc mentioned should be pointed out: using this setup, all keyboard shortcuts using the Windows Key are sent to the local system. In addition, you can use Alt+ Page Down (or Alt+ Shift+ Page Up) to cycle through the active programs on the remote system in reverse.

When I want to switch between programs on the remote system, I use Alt+ Page Up, which works just like Alt+ Tab would, but only on the remote system.

This allows using Alt+ Tab to get you back to any other program on the local system.

Before connecting to the remote machine with Remote Desktop Connection, on the 'Local Resources' tab, I set 'Keyboard' to 'On this computer'.

Instead of minimizing the remote system, I just switch to another local program and leave the remote system in the background with the following:

It is possible to use the normal, comfortable, Alt+ Tab keyboard shortcut to get out of a full screen Remote Desktop, but requires a slightly different setup before connecting.
