Mouse, keyboard and clipboard sharing between multiple devices on the same network

GitHub - deskflow/deskflow: Deskflow lets you share one mouse and keyboard between multiple computers on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Works really well, personally only tested on Linux, but I love it!

Does it work with Wayland? That was my only complaint with Barrier last time I tried to use it.
- Wayland support: Experimental support in Deskflow v1.16 (required >= GNOME 46 or KDE Plasma 6.1).
- Thanks for this, I was wondering why I couldn't get barrier to work properly
  
  I use input leap and it works flowlessly with Wayland. One PC has KDE and another GNOME 47. Even through tailscale tunnel
the only remaining question is, how is security?
- It's the clipboard, you shouldn't put secure items on the clipboard generally speaking. (We all do it anyway)
  
  No, password managers are best practice.
  
  that too, but not just that. how does access control work, how is memory safety around the receiving and authenticating code, is the traffic encrypted and how..because keystrokes, and I think mouse actions are also sensitive
I've been using barrier, but will give this a try. Thanks!
- I am using barrier for years too, I'll check this one
  
  Looks like it's also a variant of Synergy, so I guess it's just the same. There's a lot of different forks of it, I'm not sure which one is the 'best' these days.
