I am using the free version of Remote Utilities to test out functionality. It works very well, but I now have hit a snag.
I installed pihole on a Raspberry pi, and I have changed the DNS settings of my one computer to point to the pi-hole. This works great; no more ads!
However, I now try to connect to this same computer from outside of my network using Remote Utilities. It does work, but the connection is very, very slow. On average a single mouse-click takes maybe up to a minute. Same for key presses and such.
The only change between Remote Utilities working perfect and working in a very limited way is the change of installing pi-hole. I don't know how to fix this.
Any suggestions anyone?
Thanks!
