cooch17 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I've been using Synergy for a *long* time- on GNU/Linux boxes, Windows machines from Xp forward, toOS/X Macs. I've used it long enough that I ave a fair bit of skill in doing the configs, and other than periodic cut-and-paste issues (most of which I don't currently have using 1.8x), Synergy 1.8x works like a charm. So no creason to upgrade to 2, but since I always have a certain amount of unease when my software environment gets a bit long in the tooth, was thinking ompelling of 'trying' 2.xx on a couple of my non-mission critical machines. But, in browsing through basic information (as I could find), I found a fair bit of 'variation' (uncertainty) in what to me are some basic details about how 2.xx works, and how it differs from 1.xx So, for my own benefit (and I suspect a few others like me who might be puzzling), a couple of key questions 1\ can I still do a completely manual config of server/client, or do I have to do everything via a cloud (or equivalent server)? If the latter, what if you have local LAN connections for some machines, but not to the Internet? If I can't do a completely manual config -- at my own choosing -- 2.xx is DOA for me. I don't use cloud anything for authentication/configuration. Period. I gave up upgrades for any number of software applications that went that route. 2\ related to (1), my work environment is 100% fixed ip's -- is there a provision in whatever config system Symless is using for that kind of environment? I've run into a number of 'network tools' that seem to assume the world is DHCP, when it often ain't.. 3\ can I turn SSL 'off'? My machines are (largely) nested multiple layers deep behind multiple firewalls, and I'm not really do anything that really requires SSL. SSL is a great idea in theory, but can slow things down a fair bit (and, from what I gather, may not always work as intended because of differences and vagaries of flavours of SSH installed on various machines).

GranPaSmurf Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I don't think the current version of Synergy 2 is what you are looking for. SYNERGY The goal of Synergy 2 is that a user installs it and it auto-configures and works without the user having to intervene. Even to select a server. Synergy 2.1 is being developed, targeting IT and Power Users. There will be access to a console for administrative control of specific cases, but most users won't ever see it. Offline configuration is planned to be included. Don't expect 2.1 for a couple of months yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, probably more like 6 months at this rate. Sorry for the delay and thanks for your patience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooch17 Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 OK - thanks! Version 1.88 works fine for me, so I have have the luxury of 'not needing' an update to 2.x any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 It is already quite a disappointment that the offline version is still not here after all those months of waiting. And then reading on the forum, that the CEO also makes a statement that it 'may take' another 6 months ... hmm indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
