 == Types of connections ==
 Xpra supports many different types of connections:
-* '''unix domain socket''' connections using the {{{bind}}} option. From the same machine only - potentially as a different user. This is obviously restricted to Unix like systems. When using this type of direct connection locally, you should also be using "{{{mmap}}}" for maximum speed (which should be enabled by default). For connecting to a different user, you may need to use the "{{{socket-dir}}}" option to place the socket in a public location, and maybe also "{{{mmap-group}}}" to make the socket accessible to other users.
+* '''unix domain socket''' connections using the {{{bind}}} option. From the same machine only, or via SSH (see below) - potentially as a different user. This is obviously restricted to Unix like systems. When using this type of direct connection locally, you should also be using "{{{mmap}}}" for maximum performance (which should be enabled by default). For connecting to a different user, you may need to use the "{{{socket-dir}}}" option to place the socket in a public location, and maybe also "{{{mmap-group}}}" to make the socket accessible to other users.
  When starting a server, a socket is automatically created for it by default.
 * '''named-pipes''': MS Windows only (#1150)
 * '''VSOCK''' using the {{{bind-vsock}}} option, for host - guest virtual machines connections, see #983
-* '''TCP''' connections using the "{{{bind-tcp}}}" option. May be specified more than once to bind to multiple ports or IPs, supports {{{IPv6}}}. These can be secured with [/wiki/Authentication authentication modules], in which case you probably want to enable [/wiki/Encryption encryption] too to prevent some MITM attacks.
+* '''TCP''' connections using the "{{{bind-tcp}}}" option
+* '''UDP''' connections using the "{{{bind-udp}}}" option
 * '''SSL''' connections using the "{{{bind-ssl}}}" option, or TCP sockets with the {{{ssl=on}}} option.
+* '''websocket''' connections using the "{{{bind-ws}}} option
+* secure '''websocket''' connections using the "{{{bind-wss}}} option
 * '''SSH''' connections: this type of connection uses a SSH as transport to connect to the unix domain socket. (forwarded using the hidden xpra sub-command "_proxy").
  On Unix-like systems you may need an "{{{SSH_ASKPASS}}}" utility to be able to enter your password or passphrase.

+Notes:
+* each bind option can be secured with [/wiki/Authentication authentication modules], in which case you probably want to enable [/wiki/Encryption encryption] too to prevent some MITM attacks.
+* the {{{bind-XXX}}} option may be specified more than once to bind to multiple  locations, ie: multiple ports or IP addresses ({{{IPv6}}} is supported).
