Online Gateway Edition
Online Gateway Edition of Multi Screen Remote Desktop software can access computer either inside huge local area network or via the Internet. Special Internet gateway at our web server allows connecting to remote computer behind firewall or router, when remote PC has dynamic IP, in cases of complicated network topology, when the user on the other side has no knowledge about computer network administration at all.
The Host Computer and the Admin Computer uses standard HTTP port to connect the gateway server, so firewall and router allows this connection by default. Both computers use login and password of your personal account to get connected together. After handshake, the gateway server just forwards TCP/IP packets from your computer to remote PC, and vice versa.
Online Gateway edition contains all features of Direct Connection Edition plus access to web based account on the gateway service. There is an annual subscription fee for Internet gateway server lease.
