teleport VS Pomerium

Teleport is like Barrier/Synergy, but only works on Mac. The advantage is that it supports a lot of mac-specific features that Barrier doesn't, like trackpad gestures and rich clipboard syncing.

Have you tried this?

teleport (great, free)

Apple calls this "Universal Control" and it works with iPad and some selected Macs. Solutions like this have been available forever on Macs (not iPads) and still are valuable if you use an older Mac. Free ones are eg teleport and barrier. There are many more.

Synergy is cross-platform, but not free and a "company" I despise. teleport is small and easy to use, Share Mouse works, but won't let you log in (IIRC), barrier is a Synergy look-alike, free and quite usable.

Same, Synergy for macOS / Windows / Linux connectivity. I use teleport for macOS to macOS. Teleport supports touchpad gestures perfectly unlike Synergy.

I’m not sure how well it works but there used to be some software called teleport for Mac that would move the mouse/keyboard to the other computer when you moved off the screen. Like a software KVM switch. https://github.com/johndbritton/teleport

If you want it between 2 Macs, just use Teleport. It clearly inspired a lot of the Universal Control features and supports everything like trackpad gestures, cross-device drag & drop, etc.

For those who can’t wait for this feature to be released, I’d recommend the excellent Teleport as a free alternative to Synergy. It’s limited to Mac only, but it’s great at what it does. https://github.com/johndbritton/teleport

Option 3: Pomerium might be an alternative as well.

That is not how you do Zero Trust. You want to use an Identity Aware Proxy. There are lots of ways you can implement this with Google as your core auth. For example Pomerium or oauth2-proxy.

I’m really surprised this sub has no love for Pomerium. I feel like it’s as simple as Caddy with all the security benefits of Traefik.

I am not sure if I understand how Pomerium works (or any identity-aware proxy).

Pomerium sidecar.

Just want to drop https://www.pomerium.com/ here. We use it at our company with ~1500 people with many apps behind the proxy. It also supports JWT for the backend, so you can integrate your apps easily without having to worry about the OAuth flow and also your apps are protected from random internet attacks.

You’ve got to protect. Anonymity is not going to work. Pomerium is another option in addition to those already suggested. https://github.com/pomerium/pomerium

I am currently looking at Wireguard/Tailscale (Wireguard based) options - early days for me so far. Also planning to look at something like Pomerium for a zero trust approach. https://www.pomerium.com/
