 == Types of connections ==
 Xpra supports many different types of connections:
-* '''unix domain socket''' connections using the {{{bind}}} option. From the same machine only, or via SSH (see below) - potentially as a different user. This is obviously restricted to Unix like systems. When using this type of direct connection locally, you should also be using "{{{mmap}}}" for maximum performance (which should be enabled by default). For connecting to a different user, you may need to use the "{{{socket-dir}}}" option to place the socket in a public location, and maybe also "{{{mmap-group}}}" to make the socket accessible to other users.
- When starting a server, a socket is automatically created for it by default.

 * secure '''websocket''' connections using the "{{{bind-wss}}} option, or TCP / websocket connections upgraded
 * [/wiki/SSH SSH] connections: this type of connection uses a SSH as transport to connect to the unix domain socket. (forwarded using the hidden xpra sub-command "_proxy").
- On Unix-like systems you may need an "{{{SSH_ASKPASS}}}" utility to be able to enter your password or passphrase.
