Synergy/Barrier: Share One Mouse and Keyboard Between Multiple Computers

[hhstore]

Barrier:

• [x] 最近需要在几台 Mac 间切换, 着实麻烦. 就又想起来这个软件.
• [x] 当前只需要使用 : barrier
  • https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
  • 本是 synergy 的 fork 分支. synergy 收费之后, 成为第一选择.
  • 开源+免费+更新, 支持最新的 Mac 系统. (截止当前2020)
  • Barrier 的设置和Synergy 几乎 100% 一致, 且更好. 还修了一些 bug.
  • Synergy 已经是过去时, 已完全没必要用. 下载最新试用版, 竟然在 mac 下屏幕分辨率糊了.
• [x] 过去时: synergy
  • https://github.com/symless/synergy-core
  • 虽然开源, 但是要付费了.
  • 很多年前, 用过这个软件, 非常棒. 当初是在 Windows 平台下, 还是 win7 时代.
  • 算下来, 大概是2013年? 好久远了. 当年是免费软件, 现在要付费了.

替代方案:

• https://alternativeto.net/software/synergy/
• https://www.v2ex.com/t/304052
• https://www.sharemouse.com/

功能:

• [x] 需求: 实现一套键盘+鼠标, 控制多台 Mac
• [x] 单套外设(键盘+鼠标) - 多设备间共享: Synergy
• [x] 跨平台: 支持 Mac / Windows / Linux

原理:

• 利用局域网: 主机间网络通信. 多主机需要在同一个网络环境.
• 软件本身是 C/S 架构. 一个做 Server, 其他作 Clients. 通过主设备, 控制其他设备.
• 有点像飞鸽传书之类的文件共享工具.
• 只不过是共享 键盘设备.
• 使用设置:
  • 键盘物理连接的主机: 设置为 Server 角色.
  • 其他待共享的主机: 设置为Clients, 就可以了.

如何使用:

• [x] 后面给了详细的图文教程. 设置上, 还是要注意的.
• [x] 网上很多设置, 都过时了.
• [x] 下图的教程. 同时适用: barrier 和 synergy.

ssl certificate doesn't exist how to solve that

• Hi. It's been a long time since I wrote this blog, and I haven't used this software for a long time. I'm not sure if the tutorial I've written is still applicable to the latest version of this software.
• However, you can check if the machine's VPN has global proxy mode enabled? This may result in the inability to switch devices.
