## What it is
Myrtille is an HTTP(S) gateway that lets users access remote desktops (RDP) and SSH servers directly from any HTML4/HTML5 web browser, with no plugins or client installation. It is a C#/.NET application hosted on IIS that forwards user input to RDP/SSH clients and streams the display back to the browser.

## Use cases
- access a Windows remote desktop from a browser without installing an RDP client
- provide SSH terminal access to users through a web page
- give remote desktop access to locked-down or mobile devices with no admin rights
- share an RDP session collaboratively with multiple users
- add multi-factor authentication in front of RDP connections
- run remote applications launched from URLs
- transfer files to and from remote sessions over the web

## When to choose
- your infrastructure is Windows-based (IIS, .NET) and you want a browser-based RDP/SSH gateway
- users are on diverse or restricted devices (tablets, old browsers, no installs allowed)
- you need session sharing, MFA, or Active Directory integration for remote access
- you want a self-hosted alternative to Apache Guacamole on Windows

## When to avoid
- your gateway must run on Linux or non-Windows servers
- you need very high-fidelity, low-latency desktop streaming for gaming or video
- you require more than ~10 concurrent connections on a Windows client OS (IIS limitation)
- you want a fully native desktop remote-desktop client experience
