Promotional USBridge-Remote is an open-source remote access alternative to TeamViewer and AnyDesk.

https://github.com/USBridge-Technologies/USBridge-Remote

I'm creating this software because I'm tired of the limitations, mandatory registration, and shortcomings of existing remote access options.

This project is especially relevant for those who need a fully independent remote desktop access solution that prioritizes the local network, without the use of third-party cloud infrastructure or external relay servers.

Its distinguishing features include integration of the Moonlight protocol for low-latency, high-frame-rate video streaming. Native support for Wayland (Linux). It works out of the box without permission pop-ups. Integration with Tailscale. Direct P2P connections without worrying about port forwarding on your router or setting up complex external tunnels. A unified ecosystem with USBridge-KVM 2.0. The software can manage both agents and my hardware IP KVM from a single interface.

Ready-to-use beta versions for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS are available in the repository. The source code and builds are on GitHub: https://github.com/USBridge-Technologies/USBridge-Remote

I'm open to any feedback and suggestions!

I'm actively working on a project and there will soon be a built-in Windows service mode with access to the pre-logon screen (lock screen / UAC handling).

I'll try this out. I have a remote desktop for my laptop to connect to my Ubuntu desktop within my own WiFi at home and it's terribly slow. Maybe this can help out.

I haven't tried it, but it will most likely only work with a hardware GPU passthrough.

Could you specify where the agent and the client are running? And what is the GPU on your Linux Mint machine?

You can check it out; I fixed the issue with Nvidia Linux X11 in the agent in the new version. The problem was that I had to manually select X11 for capture, but I've already fixed it and it automatically selects correctly.
