How Remote Desktop Control works

Remote Desktop Control displays the screen of another computer (via Internet or local area network) on your own screen. The program allows you to use your mouse and keyboard to control the other computer remotely. It means that you can work on a remote computer, as if you were sitting in front of it, regardless of distance between computers.
Remote Desktop Control is comfortable for any kind of user. Even a "newbie" will easily understand basic network software tasks. Gurus will find many powerful features, such as file transfer between computers or remote system shutdown. The main design consideration of Remote Desktop Control software is "as easy as possible for the user"
Remote Desktop Control is so fast and comfortable that you might even forget that you are working on a remote computer! The program allows you to work with different remote computers simultaneously, from anywhere in the world.

What makes Remote Desktop Control different from other programs

There are other remote access and remote computer control programs on the market. Main benefits of Remote Desktop Control software are:

• High speed and performance.
• File transfer ability allows the user to exchange files between local and remote computers. New feature!
• Online Internet gateway allows connecting to remote PC behind firewall or when there is no routed IP or IP address changes dynamically. Unique feature!
• One click host module allows the administrator to access remote computer without any doings on remote side. Very useful for help desk support and for helping unskilled customers. New feature!
• Low network load, due to optimized data compression algorithms.
• Strong security and high safety. Challenge-response authentication protocol and a RC4-like encryption algorithm makes the program usage absolutely safe.
• Multiple and simultaneous connections. With this feature, the network administrator can efficiently control different remote computers simultaneously. Moreover, two or more administrators can control one remote PC at the same time.
• User-friendly and intuitive graphic interface.
• Low price and great discount for multiple licenses.

Remote Desktop installs and deploys easily. You do not need to be a computer guru to setup and get our software working.

How to get the system to work

Remote Desktop Control is very easy to deploy. Just follow these few steps and you will get the system to work:

• Go to the computer you want to control, it is a Host Computer. Install the Host Module (or both modules) of Remote Desktop Control product there. You may download the installation package right from our site onto that computer or ask somebody to do this task for you. Make sure that the Host Module is running on the remote PC.
• Go to your own PC, it is Admin Computer. Download a setup package and install at least the Admin Module. The installation package is the same and contains admin and host modules together.
• Start the Admin Module on your PC via the desktop shortcut or Start menu. Add the host computer IP address to the address book. In some cases you have to use Internet gateway.
• Connect to the remote computer using the "Connect" button.
• You may use "View Only" button to observe what is going on the remote PC.
• Press the "Full Control" button and control the remote PC with your mouse and keyboard. Use "Remote Screen Window" which appears or switch to a full screen mode.

How VPNs Work

As a business grows, it might expand to multiple shops or offices across the country and around the world. To keep things running efficiently, the people working in those locations need a fast, secure and reliable way to share information across computer networks. In addition, traveling employees like salespeople need an equally secure and reliable way to connect to their business's computer network from remote locations.

One popular technology to accomplish these goals is a VPN (virtual private network). A VPN is a private network that uses a public network (usually the Internet) to connect remote sites or users together. The VPN uses "virtual" connections routed through the Internet from the business's private network to the remote site or employee. By using a VPN, businesses ensure security -- anyone intercepting the encrypted data can't read it.

VPN was not the first technology to make remote connections. Several years ago, the most common way to connect computers between multiple offices was by using a leased line. Leased lines, such as ISDN (integrated services digital network, 128 Kbps), are private network connections that a telecommunications company could lease to its customers. Leased lines provided a company with a way to expand its private network beyond its immediate geographic area. These connections form a single wide-area network (WAN) for the business. Though leased lines are reliable and secure, the leases are expensive, with costs rising as the distance between offices increases.

Today, the Internet is more accessible than ever before, and Internet service providers (ISPs) continue to develop faster and more reliable services at lower costs than leased lines. To take advantage of this, most businesses have replaced leased lines with new technologies that use Internet connections without sacrificing performance and security. Businesses started by establishing intranets, which are private internal networks designed for use only by company employees. Intranets enabled distant colleagues to work together through technologies such as desktop sharing. By adding a VPN, a business can extend all its intranet's resources to employees working from remote offices or their homes.

This article describes VPN components, technologies, tunneling and security. First, let's explore an analogy that describes how a VPN compares to other networking options.

The intranet

An intranet is a private network that is contained within an enterprise. It may consist of many interlinked local area networks and also use leased lines in the wide area network. Typically, an intranet includes connections through one or more gateway computers to the outside Internet. The main purpose of an intranet is to share company information and computing resources among employees. An intranet can also be used to facilitate working in groups and for teleconferences.

An intranet uses TCP/IP, HTTP.
, and other Internet protocols and in general looks like a private version of the Internet. With tunneling, companies can send private messages through the public network, using the public network with special encryption/decryption and other security safeguards to connect one part of their intranet to another.

Typically, larger enterprises allow users within their intranet to access the public Internet through firewall servers that have the ability to screen messages in both directions so that company security is maintained. When part of an intranet is made accessible to customers, partners, suppliers, or others outside the company, that part becomes part of an extranet.
