+### Is Deskflow compatible with Synergy, Input Leap, or Barrier?
+
+Yes, Deskflow has network compatibility with all forks:
+- Requires Deskflow >= v1.17.0.96
+- Deskflow will *just work* with Input Leap and Barrier (server or client).
+- Connecting a Deskflow client to a Synergy server will also *just work*.
+- To connect a Synergy client, you need to select the Synergy protocol in the Deskflow server settings.

+### Is Deskflow compatible with Lan Mouse?
+
+We would love to see compatibility with Lan Mouse. This maybe quite an effort as currently they way they handle the generated input is very different.
 
 ### If I want to solve issues in Deskflow do I need to contribute to a fork?
