Support for VirtualHere hardware and software
The VirtualHere Client for Windows (version 5.9.8 or later) now supports RDP Isolation.
This means if you are connecting to Microsoft Remote Desktop Server in RD Session Host Mode with the Microsoft Remote Desktop Client, USB devices passed through will only be visible in one user session.
When running on a recent 6.12+ kernel Raspberry Pi 4 or 5, the VirtualHere Device Client can send the USB Signal out the USB-C (DEVICE) port.
This is really useful for KVM/IP type systems or industrial control systems, where the USB device can be redirected to a target that does not need any VirtualHere Client software installed for the remote USB device to be accessible.
VirtualHere has created a fully standards compliant 4-Port USB 3 Hub that supports Per-Port-Power-Switching (PPPS). https://modularkvmip.com/product/usb-hub/
The PPPS functionality enables you to turn on or off power to each USB port individually. It is useful for :
What is the VirtualHere EasyFind System?
VirtualHere EasyFind is essentially a built-in, optimized, simple to use VPN service that allows a VirtualHere Client to connect to a VirtualHere Server that is running anywhere on the Internet without requiring any network reconfiguration.
Is it secure?
What is the VirtualHere CloudHub?
The VirtualHere CloudHub is complete firmware that provides an embedded operating system, VirtualHere optimized Server and an administration interface. Just flash it to your device and its ready to use!
Why is this useful?
The VirtualHere Client can be installed inside a Cloud VM instance. For example an EC2 instance running Ubuntu 16.04 as shown below e.g EC2 Ubuntu 16.04 (free tier)
What version of Windows does VirtualHere USB Server run on?
Win 10/2016 or later
Can VirtualHere USB Server for Windows run inside a VM?
Not recommended. Use virtualhere server on a real machine, it needs direct access to USB devices. VM/pci passthrough in hypervisors is not reliable enough.
Can the server be run in the background as a service?
Yes, type vhusbdwin64.exe -b to install/start as a Windows Service. Type vhusbdwin64.exe -b again to stop/uninstall the windows service
NEW: Checkout EasyFind instead of configuring the settings below. Now everything is much easier!
For the old way (which still works) see below:
VirtualHere works by opening a single TCP port (usually 7575) between the VirtualHere USB Client and the VirtualHere USB Server for all communications.
The VirtualHere USB Client Console Edition can now run as a console only daemon in most Linux editions (including Android). It is a 100% static binary therefore it requires no runtime libraries, other than usbip drivers compiled into your Linux setup. usbip drivers are included in the Linux mainline so they are easy to compile with the Linux/Android kernel make command.
The client will interact with the usbip drivers in the Kernel to provide remote USB capabilities.
Running the Linux Client in the console is usually a two step process.
