Connections aims at replacing Vinagre as the remote desktop client for GNOME.
This is a remote desktop client for the VNC and RDP protocols on top of the same backend code that is used for GNOME Boxes.
The main motivation to write this application is to have a drop-in replacement for Vinagre that is modern, easier to maintain and follows the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines.
This is free and open source software.
