Self-Hosted Server

Remote Utilities Server comes with the product at no extra cost. Install it on your own hardware and keep every connection, account and license key inside your infrastructure.

One Server, Four Roles

Use one role or all four, in any combination.

Internet-ID relay

Internet-ID connections pass through your server instead of our relay servers.

Set up the relay

Address book sync

Your team shares one address book, with read and write permissions per folder.

Set up sync

Authentication

Grant and revoke access to Hosts from one place, by user or by group.

Set up authentication

License keys

Keys stay on the server. Technicians register their Viewer by signing in.

How a Connection Travels

Internet-ID relay Address book sync License management Custom authentication Vieweryour devices Hostsremote computers Self-hosted serveron-premises setup

Viewer and Host each make an outgoing connection to your server, so neither side needs port forwarding or a public address. The server passes the encrypted traffic along and cannot read it.

Why Host It Yourself

Independence

Nothing depends on us

Your remote access keeps running whatever happens to our servers. The whole system is under your control.

Isolation

Works without the Internet

Viewers, Hosts and the server only need to reach each other. That makes it fit for closed and air-gapped networks.

Performance

A shorter route

A server close to your computers can be noticeably faster than a public relay in another region.

What You Need

  • A 64-bit Windows computer, desktop or server edition. There are no special hardware requirements.
  • One TCP port (5655 by default) that your Viewers and Hosts can reach. For access over the Internet, give the server a public IP address or DNS name.
  • No separate license. The server is registered with the same key as your Viewer, and doing so does not use up a concurrent user.

Server Limits by License

The server takes its limits from the license it is registered with. Viewers connected at the same time match your number of concurrent users.
