With Deskflow you control multiple computers — macOS, Windows or Linux — using a single mouse and keyboard. It works as a software-based KVM switch (without video) and is sponsored by Synergy. This program is still actively maintained, with an intuitive interface that makes it easy to use. Tip: disable TLS in the settings for a smooth start.

In the older version this was not an issue.
Install the VirtualBox application and run a virtual machine inside it with the latest version of Linux or Windows. In many cases this can solve problems with browsing the internet — for example, making it possible to visit websites that no longer work in the old Apple environment.
