Hi there, looking for a KVM for my home server to fix it remotely when having an important issue
because wel... My home server isn't at MY home but at my mother's home

I was looking at nanoKVM-USB which I would plug to a raspberry pi, enabling and disabling the remote app according to my need to avoid unnecessary security issues, maybe even unplug it and ask my mother to plug it when needed, what do you think of such a solution ?

Thanks !

Check out JetKVM. The software and hardware is well thought out and works great. I use it for my homelab (mostly internally, so I can't say too much about external access).

Note that this apparently does work with a 4 port local KVM as well. Technotim, a homelab youtuber, tested them working together smoothly.

So buddy up the above with a jetkvm and you can control 4 systems at once.
