Connect through proxy
Host
The Host is a remote module installed on a target (i.e. remote) PC. This module works for both unattended and attended access.
Viewer
Viewer is a single "command center" used by a support technician/admin. The Viewer is where you keep your address book, start remote sessions and manage your licenses.
Address book
An address book is a place where you can keep and organize your remote connections. Each connection represents a specific remote computer. Connections have properties such as the destination address, access password (if saved), color depth and so on.
Remote Utilities allows you to back up and encrypt your address books stored locally.
