Has been working reliably for me using it across Win/Mac/Linux platforms.

Upon uninstallation crashed into blue screen and Windows didn't seem to load afterwards. Had to go through the automatic repair thing. As to why I uninstalled, it doesn't allow setting password. Instead, you're required to set password for your Windows account and log in like you would in Remote Desktop. Unaccaptable for me. Giving it 2 stars instead of 1 as a benefit of doubt.

It's a high quality alternative to overly expensive Teamviewer.

The best solution i found for connect from Linux to Mac in local network(without need internet). I tried Anydesk, TeamViewer, Chrome Remote Desktop, VNC(Remmina, Tigervnc, Tightvnc, Ultravnc).

Very fast, high quality, out the box, local network, all keyboard button works.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm using it as a replacement to Teamviewer. I recommend you to try Zerotier (p2p VPN: gratis service, open source multi-platform client) for remote support.

Easy to setup and combined with Zerotier as alternative to Teamviewer.

Free for personal use but not opensource, slightly slower than Parsec and much lower quality but acceptable (it gets better with FPS 60 and codec H264 instead of by default 30 fps VP8), but requires to be in the same LAN, although computers are autodetected so it's easy, OR specify IP address over internet, so it's not like TeamViewer. Client cannot connect from web browser, it's only through a desktop app.

It's responsive over high latency networks, enough to be able to edit video apps. I tried Anydesk to do the same, I wasn't satisfied.

Looking at the other comments, I don't understand some of the complaints. It worked out of th e box for me, doesn't crash, and I'm able to file transfer, forward UBS media devices both ways which is essential for me.

One person complained of having to set a password - having to set a password is a small thing to do, if you want to keep your desktop safe.

A list with 139 apps by boniaditya without a description.

Remote access you can host inside your own perimeter

Remote access tools that can run on infrastructure you control, rather than only through a vendor's cloud. Useful if you work under data-residency rules, need the relay inside your own network, or simply want the option to move off SaaS later. The selection criterion is narrow on purpose: every entry here can be deployed on your own server, either as the full product or as a self-hosted relay/gateway. Some are fully open source, some are commercial with a self-hosted tier — that difference is noted per entry. Disclosure: this list is maintained by the Vexaro team, so we have a stake in this category. Everything below is a third-party tool, and we tried to describe each one by what it actually does rather than how it compares to us.
