# PCRemotely

> Remote desktop and remote support software for Windows, Linux and the browser. Peer-to-peer over WebRTC with a 4:4:4 color pipeline, no port forwarding, and no time limits on the free plan.

Current version: 2.5.1. Vendor: Roger Perez (United States).

## What it does

- Attended remote control: the person being helped runs the app, reads out a 9-digit ID and a one-time password, and the technician connects. Nothing to install on a firewall and no port forwarding.
- Unattended access to machines you own, with a permanent password.
- File transfer, clipboard sync, chat, stereo audio and MP4 session recording.
- 4:4:4 color: full chroma, so small colored text (code, spreadsheets, CAD) stays sharp. Most competitors subsample to 4:2:0 and blur it.
- PCRemotely Network (paid plans): reach devices on the client's LAN — a router admin panel, a NAS, a printer, an internal web app — through the same encrypted session, as local port forwards or a SOCKS5 proxy. No VPN, no driver, no admin rights. The owner of the remote machine must approve it in a separate consent dialog, sees a permanent on-screen indicator with a cut button, and access dies with the session.

## How it is built

- Media, input, files and the network bridge all travel over WebRTC DataChannels encrypted with DTLS. Keys are negotiated per session and never leave the two devices.
- The signalling server pairs the two ends and does not see session content. When a direct peer-to-peer connection is impossible, a TURN relay forwards packets it cannot read.
- The session password is validated on the host and is never stored on the server. It does pass through the signalling server over TLS during pairing and is discarded immediately; replacing that step with a challenge is on the roadmap. We say this plainly rather than claiming zero-knowledge.

## Honest limits

- The Windows installer is not yet code-signed, so SmartScreen shows a warning on first run.
- Linux support is X11 only; Wayland is not supported yet.
- There is no macOS build available to the public yet.
- The LAN bridge moves roughly 57 Mbps on a direct connection and 17 Mbps through a relay: plenty for admin panels, SSH and RDP, not for copying large folders.
