Technical Details
what runs on :24800Synergy operates by designating one device as the server where the keyboard and mouse are physically connected, and other devices as clients that receive control input over a network connection. It is compatible with multiple operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and various Linux distributions, providing a cross-platform solution for managing multiple computers.
Communication between Synergy clients and server typically occurs over a user-defined TCP port; however, it can be configurable and uses different protocols depending on settings and versions. In some cases, Synergy operates without a fixed port assignment, using dynamic port negotiation or tunnels.
Being open-source with commercial variants, Synergy focuses on improving productivity by allowing seamless clipboard sharing, quick device switching, and even drag-and-drop functionality between machines on a single desktop interface without KVM hardware switching units.

security overview
Common Vulnerabilities:
- If run without encryption enabled, Synergy transmits data in plaintext, making it susceptible to interception and man-in-the-middle attacks.
- Unauthorized network access can lead to remote control of devices if the configuration lacks authentication safeguards.
- Attackers on the same network may inject malicious input or capture keystrokes and clipboard contents.
Common Mitigations:
- Enable TLS/SSL encryption within Synergy settings to secure input data.
- Use strong authentication and password mechanisms for Synergy connections.
- Restrict Synergy’s network exposure via firewalls or operate it within a trusted, segmented network.
- Keep Synergy software updated to mitigate vulnerabilities present in outdated versions.
- Limit Synergy port exposure to only trusted devices and consider VPN tunnels for remote use.
