Opaque is a GPLv3 licensed secure, super fast oVirt, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV), and Proxmox VDI client that allows you to connect graphically to all your virtual machines running in the cloud from anywhere in the world. It currently implements support for the SPICE protocol.

NOTES
(1) Some older devices are known to have issues with self-signed SSL certificates. If you find you are affected, return Opaque or ask for a refund. Please do not rate the application badly because of a platform issue!

(2) On most current devices, playing sound and video exceeds the CPU processing power and causes jittery sound and video playback.

(3) If virtual machines are behind a RHEV/oVirt proxy, you may need to connect to them with Opaque by using a .vv file. To get a .vv file, you have to login through the oVirt/RHEV web interface and connect to your VM's console there. Chrome works perfectly with the web interface, and opens Opaque directly. With Firefox, you have to open a File Manager, and tap the file in the Downloads folder as soon as the download completes. The built-in Android Browser does not work for .vv downloading.
* System administrators: If you are planning to recommend this app, please ensure you have determined the simplest method of access for your environment.
* Users: If you're unsure, please ask your System Administrator!

(4) Direct connections to Proxmox VMs are now fully supported. Select Proxmox from the Virtualization Environment drop-down when adding a connection (tap the "+" at the main screen).

Current features include:
- Full Proxmox and oVirt/RHEV integration.
- TFA / OTP Two factor authentication with Proxmox (Yubikey, Google Authenticator, etc.)
- SSO Authentication including Keycloak integration for oVirt
- USB Redirection
- Audio playback/recording
- Supports both Proxmox and oVirt/RHEV virt-viewer/remote-viewer (.vv) files
- Ability to edit default settings for .vv file connections or to make creation of new connections more convenient (on the main app page, tap the wrench at the top-right corner or look in the menu on older devices).
- SSL encryption for peace of mind
- Commercially signed and self-signed certificates
- SPICE protocol support
- Automatic rotation
- Desktop resizing to match display resolution
- Pinch-zoom
- Multi-touch UI with four mouse input modes to choose from
- Mouse scrolling by swiping with two fingers up/down
- Single-handed mode for easy on-the-go operation
- Support for most bluetooth input devices.

Planned features:
- Allocating VMs from a pool
- Clipboard integration
- VNC protocol support

Opaque source code is GPLv3 licensed, and is available here:
https://github.com/iiordanov/remote-desktop-clients

It also uses a number of open-source libraries included in the Gstreamer SDK for Android, as well as libcelt, openssl, libgovirt, jpeg-turbo, and librest.

Pretty good -- importantly it works to open oVirt vv connections. Running on Chromebook. Would be improved with: copy and paste sync, Alt-Tab capture when full screen, and scrolling down has a strange effect of scrolling the whole view window on the screen rather than scrolling the window within the Spice view. Possible some of these bugs are specific to the Chromebook experience. Keep up the good work.

Hey there, since your review we have added cop/paste and tried to correct scroll on Chromebook (there are many devices out there though). Did that help?We are always looking to improve the product and have noted your requests for Chromebook. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for letting me know, Kevin. Are you using Proxmox or oVirt?

Old Review: Unfortunately the app doesn't work ATM. The proxmox API has changed so I'm guessing the dev hasn't updated yet. Update: I came back a bit later after I realized the developer had sent me a message. I purchased the app again to properly submit a support ticket for the issue I was having and to my surprise the app worked this time. Looks like the issue was resolved so I'm looking forward to integrating this app into my tool box. Thanks DEV!!!

Hey there, Would you kindly open a bug report on the project issue tracker with the version of Proxmox that stopped working and what you're trying to connect to? (container, vm), and any other details you think are relevant for me to reproduce the issue. Thanks for your report! https://github.com/iiordanov/remote-desktop-clients/issues
