ProxyLink includes a browser RDP terminal powered by Apache Guacamole — no RDP client needed.

​
Connect via RDP

  1. Click RDP next to a Windows PC or server in your Devices page
  2. The RDP session opens in the browser
  3. Enter Windows credentials if prompted
RDP authenticates against the PC’s own Windows user account, so that account must have a password set — Windows blocks Remote Desktop (and all network logons) for blank-password accounts. If RDP won’t connect to a freshly deployed machine, set a password on its Windows user and try again. This is Windows behavior, not a ProxyLink setting — unlike VNC, whose per-device password ProxyLink sets automatically.

​
Features

  • Full-screen mode
  • Minimize to floating bar (session stays alive while you use other tabs)
  • Clipboard sharing
  • Multi-monitor support for Windows PC tunnels (select monitor from the RDP toolbar)
  • File transfer — the 📁 Files button in the RDP toolbar lets you upload, download, and browse files during a session (no separate share or drive mapping needed). Available on authenticated RDP sessions; not offered on shared access links.

​
Screen sharing

Share your RDP session with a client or colleague:
  1. Click Share in the RDP toolbar
  2. Send the generated link
  3. The recipient joins as a view-only observer — they can see the screen but cannot interact

​
Session recording

Enable recording on the proxy link to capture RDP sessions as .guac binary files. Playable from the Recordings page.
RDP recording requires the disable-gfx=true parameter (set automatically by ProxyLink). This disables H.264/GFX pipeline so guacd captures all frames correctly.
