We’re happy to announce the release of Veyon 4.11.0, the latest minor update in the Veyon 4 series. Linux users will enjoy experimental support for Wayland, which enables them to monitor client computers running Wayland-based KDE or GNOME sessions. The Internet Access Control add-on now offers a new feature to dynamically restrict the internet access to certain websites only instead of completely blocking it (fully supported by the routing and proxy-redirection backends and partially supported by firewall backend). It has also received an alternative backend for restricting internet access, which changes the proxy configuration to redirect it to an invalid address.

All downloads for this release are available in the download area.
