A web-based RDP client built with Go WebAssembly and grdp
This open-source project enables browser-based Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access through WebAssembly and Go, eliminating the need for thick client installations and potentially reducing endpoint security complexity. While it offers modernized remote access architecture, IT leaders must carefully evaluate security posture—the proxy currently lacks built-in authentication and requires HTTPS/WSS deployment behind reverse proxies to be production-ready. Organizations considering this approach should weigh streamlined user experience and reduced client management overhead against authentication, encryption, and network isolation requirements.
