I have two systems right next to each other. One of them doesn’t have a monitor attached and it’s not simple to do so. They are both on the same 1Gbps LAN.
I’m currently using FreeRDP/xRDP to remote into the other system, but the latency is just terrible. I’m able to deal with it, but in some circumstances (like if dynamic ads or videos autoplay on websites) the latency just skyrockets to a a frame very few seconds. The remote system is Kubuntu 20.04 using X.org and not Wayland. I have just about every window decoration turned off or down. And just about every setting I can find to increase performance. The connection settings are the best they can be (I’ve looked through so many guides and posts about increasing performance), and they have helped a bit, but it’s still far from ideal.
I’ve even tried VNC and AnyDesk and they’re both just as bad, which is odd because I’ve connected to my brother’s system in another part of the country on many occasions, and even when he loads up a Youtube video the connection and latency is buttery smooth.
Does anyone here have any recommendations or suggestions on what I can use or do to improve the connection quality?
Does parsec need an account to use? And can I do a direct IP connection or does it require a relay server?
Yea, you make an account on it and have both clients running and they appear as possible connections. Uses Upnp for router access (there’s also some other settings network related but i’ve never had a reason to use them so idk).
Ya, that’s what I remembered. That’s a no go for me, as the remote system has sensitive data on it and it would be a potential breach of security if I put an internet accessible remote connection system on to it.
Thanks for the info.
