Hello. I'm new to this mailinglist, but I think I can help here. Though the team that released NVDA Remote hasn't officially released a server component, thus (supposedly) limiting us to nvdaremote.com which I find slightly heavy handed, the open source community has risen to the challenge. https://github.com/Technow-es/NVDARemoteServer It's completely open source, with packages for lots of operating systems. I run several of these servers and have found no problems yet. I've also submitted a pull request to the NVDA remote team that allows the add-on to automatically self-host a server at startup. I like this approach because it means you're computer doesn't have an open connection to a potentially unsafe server as soon as you start NVDA, rather it starts a server instance with a key you configure. I haven't updated it in a while, but if you're interested... https://github.com/Oliver2213/NVDARemote/tree/autoconnect Hope this helps On 9/17/2015 11:35 AM, Andrew Hodgson wrote:
Hi,
For me the NVDA remote option has been made less useful because we don't have the actual server component which makes things work a lot easier. I was hoping to be able to set up a local server on the network which could be used for central connections. I don't want to have to open up ports from my workstation to the other servers. I have a controlling admin host which I wanted to install the server onto. Also it is a lot easier if machines connect once logged into the central server.
Thanks, Andrew.

Hi all: I was wondering what the experiences here were using NVDA remote access as apposed to JAWS or Window-Eyes offering specifically in a datacenter environment managing remote servers. I have Window-Eyes set up on just under 200 servers, about 60 or so of which I access regularly and the others from time to time if ever (Window-Eyes is in our base image so its ready to go if needed.) With Window-Eyes, I know I can just RDP in, once a desktop comes up press ctrl+alt+w and am good to go. If I were to use NVDA in this same situation, I know it uses its own remote access protocol and not RDP, which is both good and bad, but was wondering what you have found the ideal setup for that is? Thanks a lot. Ryan _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins
