Configure VDI
For remote desktop you can additionally set up VPN and configure clipboard operation.
Set up a VPN
When setting up a VPN, consider the restrictions.
If you use your own DNS servers, add an entry to the host file.
Limitations
When setting up a VPN, do not use:
-
the default gateway of the remote network. You can disable the use of the gateway in Windows settings;
-
networks that DaaS uses:
10.49.32.0/24
172.16.X.X/26
You can use any network from 172.16.0.0/12
, except the dedicated /26
network . Upon agreement, we can replace the dedicated block /26
with another block of the same size.

10.49.32.18 cs-7a2.daas.vmw.selectel.org.

Customize clipboard
By default, the clipboard works only in the direction from the user computer (VMware Horizon® Client) to the desktop virtual machine (VMware Horizon Agent).
Customizing the clipboard will make the exchange bidirectional.
