    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 Jan 2022
    oh thanks for giving a great example definitely well written code. been reading this https://github.com/apache/guacamole-client/blob/master/guaca...

    don't you find that comments are taking a lot of space more than the actual code or do you think this is what a takes to avoid confusion. I found that single line comments are much better, compact and enough to explain what is happening as opposed to those multiline comments that take so much space.

    If you do need to expose RDP to the public then please use a proxy like Guacamole. It provides a secure web interface to your internal servers without exposing them to the public. You can then connect from Guacamole via RDP, VNC, SSH, etc to the machines/VMs.
