          Doing some side by side testing against SC and MC is blowing its doors off in performance. Both the interface performance and remote session performance!

            The features are already brilliant and it's still in Beta...defiantly could be a viable solution, after all SC is not exactly a low cost product.

              I seem to hit something similar with Trend but it doesn't give any warnings or logs that I could find, just allows the install to continue but it sits broken and unusable

                @Ylian is out for the holidays. So expect no updates for a few days. 🙂

                    Kaspersky

                    I asked to be whitelisted by Kaspersky a few months back and they approved. I will need to check that again.

                    We have our own WebRTC stack in the MeshAgent which is quite unique. However, Firefox v64 just broke it (Looking into it), Chrome works. With WebRTC traffic goes directly from the browser to the agent bypassing the server. Should be faster, scale better and lower hosting costs.

                    Yes, I am traveling for the next 5 days, will be back with updates soon. Got plenty to work on.

                              I'm getting an error trying to setup LE:

                                  Have you tried it with no RedirPort setting at all? I have nothing set and it works fine. 80 is the default.

                                      You mean, try like this?

                                          "_RedirPort": 80,
                                      

                                      Either way, I get the same error.

                                        @StuartJordan Self hosted SC is not horribly priced. Not as good as it used to be. But still a viable price.

                                        Hosted is similar to other hosted solutions I believe. And is certainly higher than I would prefer.

                                        I have legacy pricing for SC self hosted, so really hard to get better.

                                        MC2 seems to actually do it.

                                          Email works for now using Ubuntu Server 18.10 live installer. Does nodemailer requires packages that is not included with a minimal install of Fedora?

                                            Not sure, but unlikely.
