Your home lab, from wherever you are.
Reach the Windows, Mac and Linux machines at home from your laptop. Sessions try a direct path between the two computers first and go through the AttachDesk relay when they cannot, so there is no port to forward on your router.
No port forwarding
Your computers sign in to your account and find each other through the relay. When your router or firewall blocks a direct path, the session goes through the relay instead.
See which path you got
The connection chip in the session toolbar shows whether the session runs direct or through the relay, with round-trip time and frame rate. Press Ctrl+Alt+H for more detail.
Linux at the sign-in screen
With unattended access, a Linux computer stays reachable at its X11 sign-in screen, so you can sign in after it restarts.
Wake machines that sleep
A computer set up for Wake-on-LAN shows a Wake button on the Virtual KVM board while it is offline, when its hardware and network support it.
Copy and paste between machines
Text and images you copy on one computer paste on the other during a session.
Hear the remote machine
Hear the sound from a Windows computer while you work on it.
Set it up
1. Install on each machine. Install from the download page and sign in with the same account on every machine you want to reach. 2. Get each host ready. On Linux, run an X11 desktop session. On a Mac, allow Screen Recording and Accessibility when asked. 3. Turn on unattended access for machines you reach while away. That keeps them reachable before anyone signs in and after a restart. 4. Test at home, then from outside. Connect once from the same network, then try from another network to see the relay take over when it has to.
Good to know
The Free plan shows one computer and cannot control it. Personal adds keyboard and mouse for 3 computers; unattended access starts with Professional. Linux computers need an X11 desktop session to be controlled. Strict firewalls, VPNs and captive portals can block both the direct path and the relay, or slow the relay down.
