On the other hand, the application offers you the possibility to install it on any desktop operating system. Additionally, it can also be installed on mobile clients on Android and iOS. It is therefore a very flexible tool. The tool offers remote connection to your computers, being able to send invitations to other people to access your computers, backups or blocking access to remote clients in case a device you had access to is stolen.

UltraVNC 

Another popular tool is Ultra VNC. Based on a free software client-server structure, it allows remote access to a computer and use it also from another device. Its drawback is that this protocol has been accused of not being very secure.

The biggest risk in this type of operation is that if the remote transmission is not carried out securely, it is easy for our information to fall into the wrong hands. A few months ago, Kaspersky discovered a series of security flaws in VNC servers, including Ultra VNC.

Bonus: Google Remote Desktop

Another alternative comes in the form of a web app. Google Remote Desktop allows you to control another computer from Google Chrome. We can even use it with mobile devices.

Learning Linux console can be tricky and in many cases, you may need help. It’s the best to have a friend physically present beside you to help you out, but that’s not possible all the time. Don’t worry; there’s a way that you can use to share your console with others and get direct help.

Let’s meet Teleconsole!

Teleconsole is a command-line based tool that allows sharing your console with others. It also offers security with the console sharing like SSH or HTTPS connection.

Run the following command for installing the “snap” package of Teleconsole. Snap feature comes up built-in in most of the modern day Linux distros. If your system doesn’t have it, you can simply install it by following the simple guide from official snap documentation.

sudo snap install teleconsole --classic

If your system doesn’t support “snap” feature, you don’t have to panic. There’s also a way of installing the software as a script. At first, install Curl in your system.

Note that this tutorial is to install Curl from source. Then, run the following command:

curl https://www.teleconsole.com/get.sh | sh

Sharing the terminal

Now, the time has come for sharing the console with your friends! Launch the tool:

teleconsole

After executing the command, you’ll be given two things – a Teleconsole ID and a link. One can use both for connecting with a remote console over the internet.

If you’re not comfortable sharing your link, you can send the ID. For connecting to a remote ID via Teleconsole, run this command:

teleconsole join <ID>

If you’re in need of any further help on the tool, simply run this command:
