teleport VS sshportal

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

sshportal (https://github.com/moul/sshportal) is in my mind, a ssh gateway. It's a little cumbersome to setup but it accomplishes routing ssh the way we'll want within a kubernetes cluster with replication.

Or use a jump host as an intermediary. Or use https://github.com/moul/sshportal

Adding this as a possible tool to use in a jump host scenario: https://github.com/moul/sshportal

I use SSHPortal as a jump server, mostly for the fact that I can have one entrypoint/key into my servers without needing to remember hostnames or IP addresses. It also allows me to federate access for others who need it either on a temporary or more permanent basis. For cloud hosts where external firewalls (not on the machine) are present, we can lock SSH down to only the jump host.

Just leave it here sshportal

Check out sshportal, it's a tool to multiplex access to lots of other little SSH servers (which could be running in containers on your machine): https://github.com/moul/sshportal This is commonly called a 'bastion host' if you're googling around for more related stuff. There's a lot of other interesting SSH-related stuff in this list too: https://github.com/moul/awesome-ssh
