Calling all techies

[guest]

I need to control a computer remotely without installing any software on it. Any software on any bridge or device used to access it is fine. So, basically a hardware-only KVM. My preferred setup would be hosting some program on my server (or some 3rd party service) which the KVM accesses, then I can access the server from anywhere and control the computer that the KVM is connected to. I can't seem to find any solutions that don't involve installing something on the computer that I need to control. What would you do? @admin @Dennis Denuto

With the weekly windows 10 updates, I've had to have my OS reinstalled TWICE due to compatibility issues. Now, $200 geek squad dollars later, I've eliminated that mess but I get this pop-up scam, when I take the computer out of sleep mode, that has a window that won't close and audio of some limey twunt telling me that my computer's been infected by a virus from a malicious porn site and that I need to call the number on the screen because all of my personal info including Passwords for banking, social media sites, credit cards, etc... etc... have been compromised.



Most asshats would shit themselves hearing this blaring from their computer speakers, as the very official looking screen blinks an 1-888 number and implores you to call it to work with their "windows professionals" to eliminate this infection.



If this happens to you, do the following:



Hold Control, alt, delete simultaneously.



Choose "task manager" from the resulting menu, and close your browser.



It disappears. I'm not sure if it'll happen again, but for Christ's sake... DON'T call the number and play ball with these mongrel terrorists. The only infection your computer has is some fucker slipped in that pop up in the form of a familiar email with a link you (and I) mistakenly clicked.



Go to "remove program" in your control panel and look for one of these. Delete it, problem solved. THANKS FOR YOUR USELESS SECURITY UPDATES WINDOWS 10!!!!!!

Tell me why you want to do this, just to make sure you're not trying to HACK my system

I don't want to xy problem you (https://xyproblem.info/) because thats annoying as fuck, but I'm not sure what you're trying to do. That said a quick google is a kvm over ip device? I've never set this up. If you tell me more about what you're actually trying to do maybe I have a better solution. Also i hate hardware management thats for IT plebs.

What Is a KVM over IP Switch?

KVM over IP switches are IP-based hardware devices that allow the interconnection and management of up to thousands of servers, making remote server access possible for all the KVM connected servers via in-band and out-of-band methods.

this isn't my area, so I can't say for sure but I have an intuition that this won't be cheap since you want a hardware solution.

A friend of a friend is getting a company computer for a fully remote job and they don't want their employer knowing when or where they're traveling.

Thanks. I know it won't be cheap, but I'm open to all options.

Tell him to tell his bosses to back off! This ain't their show!

I'd have to look more into it. but i found a diy solution with a rasberry pi

There's also this https://tinypilotkvm.com/

You should ask your "friend", to figure out what device management software they have on the computer. Some of them might be able to detect something like that.

VPNing at all times isnt a feasible situation here? Sorry, 16, dick, internet.

 

[RobertMewler]

this isn't my area

We know. You change bed pans for a living.

 

[not that Jack Horner]

maybe your friend should just follow the rules and be thankful he has a lazy sit at home job

you ever tell him that?

 

[Leonard Rhomberg]

I know but am not going to tell you

its either blocked or not allowed. You'd need to look into the device management software they are using as i mentioned. Judging by the fact that a non software solution is needed , installing anything is blocked or audited. So you can't really vpn into a computer remotely that way, that I'm aware of.

Lets say the company has something like citrix endpoint management installed on all employee computers. All computers are essentially client device nodes managed centrally. Something like:
https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citri...tication/gateway-and-endpoint-management.html

Is set up. Then all traffic from the company computers goes through the citrix gateway. So any company computer is set up to immediately route traffic into the gateway. The gateway would have firewall rules, auditing and certs. if you tried to double vpn or something if you could even get the software installed (or use an http based proxy vpn) , and you didn't get audited... you likely would just not be able to connect to anything. You'll get cert errors , dns issues, or the computers nic would be locked down.

You also likely can't get into the bios , that's probably encrypted and locked down by the device manager.

This all depends how mature the companies it department is.

Why don't you route your traffic into some other Paki's gateway ya fruit

The computer will just treat it as an external mouse/keyboard/display. It physically stays put. I went with the TinyPilot Voyager 2a. Guess we'll know in a few weeks if it works or I wasted $400.
