Oh, so you have the option of using a VPN connection instead of going<br>
through that jump host?<br>
In that case, it would be interesting to see what happens when you set<br>
up a jump host of your own (preferably based on Debian Buster) on your<br>
internal network (i.e. in the same network where your X2Go Server resides).<br>
If you can connect via the VPN to the Jump Host under your control, and<br>
from there to the X2Go Server, and it feels almost as fast or just as<br>
fast as connecting directly to the server (via VPN), then that would be<br>
an indication that your "official" jump host is having issues with our<br>
client. If, on the other hand, you're seeing the same lag again, it<br>
would mean that something's broken on our end, i.e. in X2GoClient.<br>

Um, sounds like you haven't looked at the X2Go web page yet?<br>
<a href="https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php</a> -> the green box labeled "Get X2Go"<br>

<br>
Well, X2GoClient allows you to set the DPI for your session (third tab<br>
in the session config), and it also allows you to enable or disable<br>
XINERAMA there. Maybe that helps?<br>
