      FYI. Just updated MeshCentral Router for Windows with a new relay port map mode. You can now use a remote agent as a TCP relay to access other services on that network. Feedback on it appreciated.

          @Ylian Relay Map is badass...just used it to 2-step RDP to a machine that does not have MC installed on it.

            The MeshCentral Router with relay mapping is indeed, very interesting. By the way, just Published MeshCentral v0.3.1-d with server data collection and charts. You probably want to update and wait a few hours to start getting pretty pictures. Data is logged every 5 minutes. Enjoy. Feedback appreciated.

              @Ylian just updated, but the server died on the update.

                  I opened an issue on GitHub. No idea what's causing the issue here.

                      @scottalanmiller Many thanks for reporting this on GitHub. Did a bunch of fixes to minification and NeDB code as a result. Very must appreciated.

                        Thanks. On 0.3.1-h now and all is working great.

                            Nice! Today I added a "Log scale" option because some data was really off. I also made it so some data points start expiring as times goes on. One hidden feature, you can click on the series names at the top to toggle them.

                              Anyone else have their screen freeze after the UAC Prompt comes up when connected to Windows clients? (wondering if its just me)

                              Server is Ubuntu Current
                              I connect from Windows 10 to MeshCentral
                              Client system is Windows 10

                              Tried,

                              -Disconnect then Reconnect from Desktop
                              -Refresh MeshCentral

                              Log out and log in of MC seems to be the only method that works. I can see the UAC prompt and continue on with the support session.

                              On occasion, after I have logged out and back in of MC, the mouse works but the keyboard doesn't. Have to go through the motions again.

                                Freeze for a short time, yes.

                                  Hmmmm.... My will freeze until I do something. Waited about 2 hours once.

                                  Does it ever mess with your keyboard but allow the mouse to work?

                                    No, it's just several seconds here.

                                    Have not seek a keyboard issue like that.

                                            Just tested the Mesh Router as well. It works great! Connecting from a hosted server to a lab in my home network (behind double nat) and it works flawlessly!
