:) yes. For Windows, that's exactly what SimpleKVM does https://github.com/fiddyschmitt/SimpleKVM

You could use SimpleKVM to detect the USB change, and trigger the monitor input change. https://github.com/fiddyschmitt/SimpleKVM

For Windows, I wrote SimpleKVM. I'm proud of the little monitor diagram it shows. Keen to hear your thoughts if you get to try it. https://github.com/fiddyschmitt/SimpleKVM

For Windows: https://github.com/fiddyschmitt/SimpleKVM If you only have two computers, you just need one instance of SimpleKVM to switch between the computers.

Nice write-up! I wrote https://github.com/fiddyschmitt/SimpleKVM which makes the process easy on Windows. As others have mentioned, you can use a cheap USB switch if you don't have…

I've just finished a major upgrade to enable tunneling over more file systems: https://github.com/fiddyschmitt/File-Tunnel/wiki The most popular feature request was to tunnel over …

Haha!

That's awesome!

Cool. I think rdp2tcp uses virtual channels for tunneling: https://rdp2tcp.sourceforge.net/

Woah!

Yes exactly. One file in each direction made arbitration easier. In the future I will implement a single file to handle both directions.

Hi Andrew, there's just one writer (which can tunnel multiple TCP connections). Arbitration was indeed one of the trickiest bits. Originally I pre-reallocated the full file size (1…

Hi Bawolff! Yes that's a great combo. I guess File Tunnel provides a couple of things that makes the tunnel maintenance a bit easier. 1. It gracefully supports each side of the tun…

Thanks J :) Absolutely! I did try various flags to optimise performance. For CreateFile (which in .NET is wrapped by the FileStream class) I tried FILE_WRITE_THROUGH (which is File…

Nice! It's so good when you can cobble together various tools to achieve something like that.

Firewalls typically block network protocols, yet permit access to file servers. A file tunnel can be used to enable a client to reach a server.

This program can be used to tunnel TCP connections through a file. People have used it for interesting things: - Bridging connections which would otherwise be blocked by a firewall…

Thanks! Even just one instance running on Windows can be used for a Windows+Linux setup

Correct

Nice!!

Yes I know exactly what you mean - I've experienced the same. I haven't tried a mechanical one before. I'll have to try it out

Yep HDMI works well. It also works on DisplayPort, DisplayPort Mini, VGA and DVI.

For sure :)

Yes Barrier is very nice. I would use it except for the fact that my work laptop is VPN'd and therefore on a different network to my home LAN.
