I have a customer who we set up with a Ignition 7.9.4 Gateway that only generally runs a single a client. We recently were granted remote access to the server by the company via software called BeyondTrust Remote Support Representative Console. This allows a Teamviewer type of remoting in, a RDP style remoteing in, and VNC’ing in. Is there a way with this software that I could remote in and then run a copy of the Vision client from my local computer (instead of through the actual teamviewer like instance)? I know this is a very specific question and understand that it’s probably not something that is documented, but has anyone done this? ---

Sorry to revive this from the dead - but the vision client only needs HTTP connectivity on the gateway’s main port. If you set it up so you can hit the webpage, that same url can launch a client or designer session. ---

Were you able to get this working? We have a similar requirement, but for perspective. Trying protocol tunneling, but it just wont work. ---

To run a client, whether Vision or Perspective, from a remote environment, you need a **route** to the target **gateway**. VNC and RDP and other screen/keyboard access technologies, pointed at an internal **client** , do not provide a network route to the **gateway**. You generally need a proper **VPN** solution to run clients from a remote environment. ---

RustDesk provides tunnelling support, which I've gotten to work with other technologies, and I would guess it would also work with Ignition also, but haven't actually tried it yet. It's a TeamViewer alternative, but also allows direct IP connections. Although that won't help this particular instance with BeyondTrust, but it's about the only screen/keyboard/remote KVM style solution I've seen that does support tunneling traffic as well. ---

Not in the way I wanted originally where I could work off my laptop. I remote into the target server via BeyondTrust Remote Support and then work on it directly on there. ---

We do this as well. We also have remote access to the site via a proper VPN, but the client's IT security is tight. They won't add the route or HTTP to the gateway for us. Routes are limited to the PLCs. ---

What's funny about that is the direct access to the PLC from a security standpoint is more dangerous than access to the Ignition server.
