Veyon Setup

Even though the Veyon idea great I gave up do to some Windows machines having problems with static IPs. Anydesk just works. To be fair, I use old PCs so the fault may lie in Win10 compatibility with the old network adapters in the PC and not Windows 10 itself.

On the control machine
Install master and client Veyon
Method key file
Create key home (or something)
Export public key to desktop
Check access is administrators
Add new location home
add new pc home-pc1
add host address fixed ip for the remote pc

go to client
install client only
import public key name it home
add new location home
add host address static ip (be sure it is outside the router's DHCP range)
The DHCP range is probably the first 120 slots so choose something like 192.168.1.201

Veyon master needs to be restarted when changes are made 

I still prefer Anydesk but Veyon is great for monitoring and maintaining multiple pcs on the same network. You can send files from the master to the client. You do need a static IP for the clients . . . and good luck getting a Windows 10 PC to keep a static IP to work long term. Some do and some don't.
