Any idea how the traffic is sent from one to the other? I've used Synergy for this purpose for years but the traffic is sent in clear text unless you wrap it in an SSH session, which took me forever to figure out and configure. This of course means that if you lock one of the "clients" and come back to unlock it later, your credentials get passed in the clear.

Edit: Not lazy, just can't check the link right this second.

Any port you like plus

Security
•Encrypt network data between Input Director controlled computers using AES with a 128, 192 or 256bit key
•Lock down the Input Director configuration so that only Administrators may make changes
•Systems can limit which master systems can control them by host name, ip address or network subnet

The nice thing is Synergy allows you to have a windows computer and a *nix based computer with 1 keyboard and mouse and its seemless moving the mouse from one computer to another. This one is Windows only. Its still cool I am not knocking it but if you can get synergy to work I think it is a little cooler

Oh, well yeah that's a deal breaker for me. I have a Linux machine and a Windows machine sharing my peripherals right now so this wouldn't work for me sadly. Bummer, I got a little excited that I wouldn't have to reconfigure that stupid SSH port forward junk every time I wipe my drive.
