We're currently looking for remote desktop access software for offsite users. We were before the pandemica anyways. The goal is to treat all our endpoints the same if they're in the office, or at home.

This seems perfect, pending price aside.

I just want to drop an agent in our management system, or on a box not in mdm, and be able to just connect to them.

That said, I'm not totally getting a 'safe; vibe here. More about how it works and some way to confirm it would be good.

The service is based on the WebRTC protocol, which provides AES encryption of all data. Attempts to brute force the link to access the agent are immediately blocked by IP.
I've done a lot of ip blocking. I really like the option to block via cidr, asn, country, and hostname. Some things I like to block tor and vpns.. other things I prefer to block all but allow xhostname or x block of vpn ip blocks.

Different needs for things. For something like this, I'd want a log of access sent to third place and a ping / email / text or something anytime it's been used. That might calm some of the fear of unauthorized access for me.

Just a quick feedback, I'd love to have a setting for custom input, since I use right click as my primary mouse button and virtually no remote desktop software has ever put a feature to support tap as right click.
Thank you, we'll think about it.
FYI: Malwarebytes blocks your site as a Trojan.
Thank you, let them know about the false positive alarm.
Biggest differences between this and something like Teamviewer?
Just try to go to the demo server and see how easy it is to connect.
Does this work if my laptop screen is closed?
