What are some KVM-over-IP or equivalent solutions you guys would recommend for guaranteed remote access and remote power cycle? - eviltoast

Currently, I have SSH, VNC, and Cockpit setup on my home NAS, but I have run into situations where I lose remote access because I did something stupid to the network connection or some update broke the boot process, causing it to get stuck in the BIOS or bootloader.

I am looking for a separate device that will allow me to not only access the NAS as if I had another keyboard, mouse, and monitor present, but also let’s me power cycle in the case of extreme situations (hard freeze, etc.). Some googling has turned up the term KVM-over-IP, but I was wondering if any of you guys have any trustworthy recommendations.

    You’d also need GPIO pins to be able to do the remote “button presses”.

      I’m mainly interested in streaming the video output and generating keyboard and mouse events.
