Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect

Ylian

You guys get an premiere, I am posting this here first. I just published the all new MeshCentral Router for Windows. Allows TCP port mapping thru the MeshCentral server. Requires v0.3.0-t or later. You can RDP, PuTTY, WinSCP to remote computers. Youtube video demonstration here. Feedback & bug reports appreciated.

@Ylian oh way, that's some awesome stuff! Thanks!

@pmoncho Arg. I need to investigate this NPM issue. I have not seen this problem on my own servers, but it may be an issue with a specific NPM version. I will take a look.

Thanks Ylian.

As an FYI, I am running Ubuntu Current with current updates as of 03/18/19. If that helps anything at all.

Now I HAVE to find time to get this server setup and test it. Very cool feature.

I have 4 tasks on the front burner today all of which require the better part of a day each and then I see a new toy released that's causing an itch between my shoulder blades. Thanks Ylian. It looks quite nice.

@NashBrydges it's the best support tool I've ever used.

scottalanmiller

Just went to 0.3.0-t

That be a serious understatement...

StuartJordan

wow @Ylian very impressive, love the work you are putting into this project

Finally installed and setup thanks to @JaredBusch instructions. One question that I didn't find as I was reading through this now very long thread...is there a way to disable the create account capability on the login page? I may be dense but couldn't find this option anywhere.

@JaredBusch Thank you

Ylian

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.

FATeknollogee

@Ylian Not seeing the new "Relay Map"
I'm on 0.3.0-u
edit: let me re-check, BRB
edit: All good

FATeknollogee

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

Ylian

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.
