I was quite frustrated being unable to continue using Synergy when one of my boxes was VPN’d in to work. This solved my problems with no fuss.

The solution I had been using was to have the VPN’d box live within a VMWare virtual machine, which worked, but was not ideal due to the overhead and start-up time.

My wheel mouse works perfectly between my Windows box (Synergy server) and my Linux box (client) and it’s been fast and very stable once getting it configured correctly. I do get the occasional hang if the explorer shell freezes in Windows, but since I never have to reboot my linux box, I never have to use the KVM switch anymore. If the Synergy client in Linux isn’t connected, it sends out requests until it connects to the server. Whenever my Windows XP box reboots (the Synergy server is in the startup menu) the mouse and keyboard works on both of them right away! Copy/paste is a very useful feature between systems and we use it often. If only it supported file drag-n-drop between systems using your favorite (configurable) supported protocol. NFS, SMB, FTP. That would make this software even better. Overall, definitely worth using if it suits your hardware setup. Plus, you can’t beat the price! :-)
