Royal Apps

I wonder if we might be able to get an alternative RDP plugin for Royal TS on Windows vs. the one based on native Windows RDP? Maybe something based on FreeRDP like in Royal TSX?

Why? A few reasons. One, the native Windows plugin doesn't support folder redirection...only full drive redirection. I'd rather just share my downloads folder with the shared terminal server, and not my whole C drive, thanks! Also, while this may be more of a bug that I consider a feature, FreeRDP ignores the server side setting requiring people to manually type a password. It's super annoying on my Windows machine to have to log in again manually every time I resize the window or change monitors, while on my Mac I can just do that without thinking because the app will automatically log in for me with a saved password.

Also, it might just be me, but FreeRDP seems quite a bit faster than the native Windows RDP plugin. That might be apples to oranges and my Mac is just faster, but it's good to have choice I think.

Hey!

I'm absolutely seconding that interest here. :)

Our aim is to use virtual channels in the RDP connections. Apparently ActiveX RDP does support that, but not fully and for every connection. FreeRDP does fully support VCs.

Oh, and: Contacted your support for the first time today. So far I got excellent help! Thanks!

I think the lack of comments on this thread is not 100% representative of demand for this feature.

When I discovered the proxy configuration in Royal TSX (mac client), I was s positively surprised. Mainly as I had no idea that it was at all possible to connect RDP over a Socks5 proxy.

Since then, I have been using it extensively as a connection concentrator (to simplify firewall configurations, and to better track connections on the proxy server side).

A couple of weeks ago, I pushed the engineered solution, a jumphost installed as an Ubuntu server installation with:

* sniproxy

* danted (socks proxy)

* openssh (default installation)

With that setup, we could limit the access over VPN to just that jumphost server.

But when our windows based engineers started to use it, we realized that the proxy configuration is missing in the Royal TS (windows client).

So, the lack of interest is probably more a lack of marketing of the possibilities.

If it is possible to implement this as a FreeRDP plugin, that would most likely be enough for us.

Thanks for an otherwise very good product.

Plus one here.

We just engineered a solution with a Socks5 proxy on Ubuntu just for this use case. I personally have used Royal TSX (Mac), which is based on the FreeRDP library, where the Socks5 Proxy works really well.

We were almost about to purchase a site license for Royal TS when one of our engineers realized that there is no proxy configuration available for Royal TS (with the Active X lib).

We are now looking for another RDP client solution, as we don't think that this will happen.
