5. What security/encryption does synergy provide?
|
||||
|
||||
None. Synergy currently does no encryption or authentication.
|
||||
Synergy provides no built-in encryption or authentication.
|
||||
Given that, synergy should not be used on or over any untrusted
|
||||
network, especially the Internet. It's generally fine for home
|
||||
networks. Future versions will provide encryption and
|
||||
networks. Future versions may provide built-in encryption and
|
||||
authentication.
|
||||
|
||||
Strong encryption and authentication is available through SSH
|
||||
(secure shell). Run the SSH daemon (i.e. server) on the same
|
||||
computer that you run the synergy server. It requires no
|
||||
special configuration to support synergy. On each synergy
|
||||
client system, run SSH with port forwarding:
|
||||
|
||||
ssh -f -N -L 24800:<server-hostname>:24800 <server-hostname>
|
||||
|
||||
where <server-hostname> is the name of the SSH/synergy server.
|
||||
Once ssh authenticates itself, start the synergy client
|
||||
normally except use `localhost' or `127.0.0.1' as the server's
|
||||
address. SSH will then encrypt all communication on behalf of
|
||||
synergy. Authentication is handled by the SSH authentication.
|
||||
|
||||
A free implementation of SSH for Linux and many Unix systems
|
||||
called OpenSSH is available from http://www.openssh.com/. For
|
||||
Windows there's a port of OpenSSH using Cygwin
|
||||
(http://www.cygwin.com/).

6. What should I call my screens in the configuration?
|
||||
|
||||
You can use any unique name in the configuration file for each
