Looks like this is a non-starter at work... Boss just renewed TeamViewer..... might set up a digital ocean or vultur instance for personal use... There seems to be a lot of vultur users on here but I've already got an account on DO, any significant pros / cons to either platform?

For basic things they are very similar. Exact pricing fluctuates occasionally.

Decently close. In our use we've found that Vultr lowers prices about a year faster than DO so overall tends to be a lot cheaper, and performance tends to be a little better so you get more for the same settings. For a long time Vultr has ISO support and DO did not, but I believe that they both do now. So the big deal with Vultr is just a solid history of always being the better value. But DO was always good. Linode has consistently been better than DO but not as good as Vultr for us. We have used all three for many years.

There is no way to pop out session to have many open at once (easily). THis is a fail.
I could not send a CAD when using the webpage on my iPad.

Yeah, open a new webpage for each is the only thing right now. That's something I'm looking forward to having added. Once the basics are done, that should be pretty easy to add.

Is your desktop running as software rendering mode or video hardware accelerated?

I’m using vga, dvi, and hdmi for my three VGA monitors.
2 of those monitors are connected to DVI and hdmi with adapters. -
