Remota

What Remota is

Remota is a free, open-source remote connection manager for Linux and self-hosted setups. It gathers remote sessions using SSH and RDP, with RDP support for NLA/CredSSP, in one application. VNC and Telnet are listed as planned additions. Connections can be arranged in folders and subfolders, assigned custom icons, and configured to inherit credentials from folders. Connection details and secrets stay in a local vault protected by AES-256-GCM and Argon2id encryption and unlocked with a master password. For machines behind NAT, a self-hosted relay and remote agent provide access without requiring a public IP or open ports. Import options include mRemoteNG confCons.xml files and Remota JSON. At launch, Remota checks GitHub for releases, described as its only automatic network request; that check can be disabled. Packages are signed, and updates install only when signatures match the key built into the app. The project describes use by developers, sysadmins, homelabbers, IT teams, and students connecting to multiple remote machines.
