@geerlingguy which cheap IP-KVM is the one to get now? Need to be able to type in FV password on a mini after power failure and not much more, preferably powered by either the mini or POE. Hopefully actually easy to order and not waiting for a crowd funding batch or anything like that.

@paul @geerlingguy There is a GLI one, powered by USB C, I believe there is a POE one on the way.

I’ve got one on order for a remote office. https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-rm1/

@Craig @geerlingguy I just saw that on Amazon, but hadn't heard of it until today.

@paul @Craig @geerlingguy I’ve got one of their little travel routers for trips away that tunnels all the traffic over a VPN link to the house. If it works as well as that does I’ll be happy.

@Craig @paul @geerlingguy Have both router and IPkvm. This is the way to go.

@wajdi gl inet KVM seems good, haven't fully tested mine yet.

NanoKVM has honestly improved quite a bit since my original review; I'm more comfortable running it now.

@paul @geerlingguy JetKVM is cool but I'm not sure if it's fast to get.

@paul you could try PiKVM if you have a Pi4 laying around

@paul @geerlingguy if all you need is a way to spit out a password (after a delay) on power up, get a USB Rubber Ducky https://shop.hak5.org/products/usb-rubber-ducky

@paul @geerlingguy I just bought the Gli.net comet kvm and it works really well and is super compact. They even offer full Mac app to configure everything.

@paul I’ve really liked the JetKVM so far but I’m not sure how the shipping situation is looking.
