- Worth noticing
- The page states that no server holds a key and that remote access stops when DeskPair closes.
Field notes
The connection flow uses an ID and one-time password, with QR scanning as an alternative. The page says the remote participant can see the connection and terminate it, while the controlled computer remains unreachable when DeskPair is closed. It lists AES-256-GCM between the two computers, direct connections before relay fallback, and support for file transfer, clipboard, sound, chat, multiple displays, and session recording.
