# Tailscale VPN
|
||||
You can use [Tailscale](https://tailscale.com/) to access Pi-KVM on the internal network. This is a convenient and free (for private use) tool for organizing a small VPN network.
|
||||
|
||||
# Installation
|
||||
## On the Pi-KVM side
|
||||
1. Use this commands:
|
||||
```
|
||||
# rw
|
||||
# pacman -Syy
|
||||
# pacman -S tailscale
|
||||
# systemctl enable --now tailscaled
|
||||
# tailscale up
|
||||
```
|
||||
2. Follow the link to authorize this installation.
|
||||
3. After success, perform soft reboot using `reboot` command to make sure that everything will work correctly.
|
||||
4. Perform command `ip addr show tailscale0` to view the Tailscale IP address.
|
||||
|
||||
## On the workstation side
|
||||
* Download and install tailscale for your OS: https://tailscale.com/download
|
||||
* Check tha page https://login.tailscale.com/admin/machines to view your VPN network.
|
||||
* Follow the URL in the web browser: `https://<tailscale_kvm_ip>` and you will see Pi-KVM web interface.

# VNC
|
||||
As an alternative to the web interface, you can use VNC with various desktop clients. The main advantage of VNC over the browser is the ability to expand the image to the full screen, as well as complete interception of all keyboard keys. In some cases, VNC will be more responsive than the browser, especially on weak computers.
|
||||
|
||||
**Please note: we strongly don't recomment the use of VNC in untrusted networks.** The current implementation uses either weak TLS encryption or no encryption at all (depending on your client). In the latter case, your password will be transmitted over the network in plain text. Unfortunately, this is the reality of the VNC protocol.
|
||||
|
||||
# Enabling VNC on the Pi-KVM side
|
||||
1. Switch Pi-KVM filesystem to the read-write mode using command `rw`.
|
||||
2. Optional: change client's keyboard layout if you're using an non-US keyboard. To do this edit file `/etc/kvmd/override.yaml` (remove `{}` before adding lines):
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
vnc:
|
||||
keymap: /usr/share/kvmd/keymaps/ru
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. Optional: some VNC clients (for example TightVNC) can't use user/password authentication. In this case you can enable passhrases mode in `/etc/kvmd/override.yaml`:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
vnc:
|
||||
auth:
|
||||
vncauth:
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
```
|
||||
To set passphrases edit file `/etc/kvmd/vncpasswd`.
|
||||
4. Enable `kvmd-vnc` daemon. VNC will be available on the port 5900: `systemctl enable --now kvmd-vnc`.
|
||||
5. Switch filesystem to the read-only: `ro`.
|
||||
|
||||
# Configuring the client
|
||||
We recommend [TigerVNC](https://tigervnc.org) for the better experience.
|
||||
Here the settings for this client:
|
||||
* **Compression** tab:
|
||||
- Choose **Tight** encoding as preferred and color-level **Full**.
|
||||
- Disable automatic quality adjust settings **Auto Select**.
|
||||
- Enable **Allow JPEG compression**.
|
||||
* **Security** tab:
|
||||
- Enable **None** and **Anonymous TLS** encryption.
|
||||
- Enable **Username and password** authentication.
