Description

HelpWire is remote access software for Windows, macOS, and Linux. IT teams and technicians can start sessions by sending a link, so the remote user clicks it and joins without creating an account or entering credentials. When follow-up is required, unattended access allows technicians to return to devices later without involving the remote user again. Sessions reconnect automatically after reboots. To keep remote access responsive, HelpWire uses direct peer-to-peer connections by default, with relay fallback when network conditions require it. All sessions are encrypted with TLS and AES-256. Core features: - No sign-up for the remote user – reduce friction and speed up session initiation. - Reboot & reconnect – continue support after system restarts without losing access. - UAC elevation support – perform administrative tasks on Windows devices during the session. - File transfer – move files between devices during support work. - Wayland support on Linux – connect to Ubuntu 22.04+, Fedora, and other distributions where Wayland is the default. - Concurrent sessions – let one operator connect to several clients at once, or multiple operators join the same session. - Multi-screen view – work across all client monitors without switching context. - Two-factor authentication (2FA) – protect account access. - Firewall-friendly connections – run support within restricted network environments.

Description

SecureDesk is a self-hosted platform aimed at remote support and device management specifically for Windows systems, ensuring that the user's own infrastructure handles all interactions without relying on external cloud services. It features two modes of connection: attended sessions, which provide real-time assistance with the end user's approval, and unattended access for managing devices that do not have staff present, like servers or kiosks. Additionally, for more complex troubleshooting needs, technicians can access a SYSTEM-level shell to execute administrative commands directly on the device. Central to its architecture is a robust encryption model; both the technician's console and the remote device independently create their own AES-256-GCM encryption keys, with connections initiated solely from the endpoints. The self-hosted relay that facilitates each session only transmits encrypted data and does not possess any keys, ensuring that even the operator of the relay cannot decrypt or view the content of the sessions. This design not only enhances security but also provides peace of mind to users who prioritize data protection during remote interactions.
