    Remote Desktop Access

    For servers without their own monitors or input devices, known as "headless" servers, having a way to control and manage them remotely is crucial. This is not only important because these servers lack a direct way to interact with them, but also because it allows for easy checking and fixing of any issues by the IO Builder Support team, no matter where the server or the support team is located.

    Here are the best options for remote access, chosen for their ease of use and effectiveness:

    • AnyDesk: This tool allows you to access and control your server from anywhere, without needing to be physically present. It's especially useful for headless servers because it offers the ability to connect automatically without someone needing to accept the connection on the server side. Even better, it provides this feature for free, which is great for managing your server without extra costs. 

    • TeamViewer: One of the most well-known names in remote desktop software, TeamViewer is celebrated for its reliability and wide range of features. It's a great choice if you're looking for a comprehensive remote access solution that many people trust.

    • Chrome Remote Desktop: If, for any reason, you find that AnyDesk or TeamViewer doesn't meet your needs, Chrome Remote Desktop is another option. It's straightforward to set up and use, making it a good backup choice. This is particularly useful if you prefer using web-based tools or if you're already invested in the Google ecosystem.

    If you intend to operate the computer headlessly (i.e., without a monitor), a dummy display plug may be required to simulate a monitor connection. Without this, remote desktop solutions may not function as anticipated.
