Guacamole Features

• It allows you to access your remote desktop from a web browser. No other software needs to be installed on the client-side.
• Supports standard protocols like VNC, RDP, SSH and Kubernetes.
• VNC sessions can be recorded graphically.
• Single Sign-on with CAS, OpenID Connect or SAML 2.0
• Wake-on-LAN
• Easily manage multiple remote desktop sessions.
• Supports TOTP two-factor authentication.
• Supports clipboard (copy and paste) and file transfer via SFTP.
• Supports audio input and output
• and more.

Guacamole itself is not a remote desktop protocol. It’s a proxy between the remote desktop and the client, so the remote desktop can be displayed and controlled in a web browser.
