Manageability Features
With a range of features, Remote8 provides a platform that allows you to remotely access and easily manage your servers and clients.
Remote Desktop and Terminal
One of the most commonly used features, Remote8 offers web-based remote desktop and terminal access. Control any computer in the world from any web browser.
Real-Time User Interface
The Remote8 web interface is fully real-time, so users never need to hit the "refresh" button. This makes it easy to view device connections and ongoing activities.
Remote File Access
Gain full remote access to files on any system, including downloading, uploading, renaming, creating new folders, and more. Store and manage your devices' files from anywhere.
Power Status Monitoring and Control
Monitor when a device is powered on and use existing live devices to send Wake-on-LAN commands for remote power management on networks.
Text and Video Chat
While conducting a remote support session, you can start a chat session with the remote user. If WebRTC is available, you can even perform live control and video chat.
Port Forwarding
Use the routing tool to map any local TCP or UDP port on your local machine to ports on remote devices. Perform RDP or SSH sessions with devices anywhere on the internet.
Multi-Operating System Support
The server is built on NodeJS and can be installed on any major operating system. The tool, developed in C, supports connections for 32 and 64-bit Windows, Linux (x86 and ARM), MacOS, and FreeBSD.
Multi-User Support
Remote8 fully supports multi-user and multi-tenant servers, allowing multiple users with different permissions to work simultaneously on device groups for efficient server use.
Intel Active Management Technology
Administrators can optionally use Intel® AMT to remotely power on, boot into BIOS, and manage a system independent of the operating system state.
Activity Logs
Track what users are doing on remote devices with real-time event logs that can be filtered by device or user. Ideal for auditing management operations.
Server File Storage
Use the server as a file repository for uploading, downloading, and making files accessible. Remote8 makes it easy to use your server as a cloud file storage solution.
Session Recording
All remote desktop, terminal, and Intel AMT KVM sessions can be optionally recorded by the server, adding an extra layer of audit capability for later playback.
Two-Factor Authentication
Passwords alone are no longer sufficient to protect users. With support for two-factor authentication, remotely managed assets are better safeguarded against password breaches.
HTTP Content Security
Remote8 optimizes HTTP headers to enhance security against cross-site scripting (XSS) and other attacks. These headers instruct the browser to limit the source of loaded content.
Let's Encrypt Support
Remote8 offers built-in support for Let's Encrypt, allowing you to obtain valid TLS certificates for your domain and automatically renew them. This is a crucial step to enhancing user trust.
FIDO2 Support
Remote8 supports FIDO2 for hardware authentication keys (Bluetooth, USB, and NFC), adding an extra security layer against phishing attacks and strengthening administrator authentication.
Strong Cryptography
Remote8 uses robust encryption algorithms by default, such as SHA-384, AES-256, and RSA-3072. This provides security beyond industry standards and offers resistance against quantum computing.
IP Address Binding
Remote8 binds all generated session tokens and cookies to the requesting IP address. This prevents stolen tokens from being reused in different locations by malicious actors.
TLS 1.3 Usage
Remote8 employs TLS 1.3 for HTTPS connections, disabling older and weaker TLS protocols to ensure the highest level of security.
Reverse Proxy Support
Remote8 is compatible with reverse proxies, enabling integration with modern data centers without exposing the private HTTPS certificate key.
Strong Password Enforcement
Remote8 optionally enforces the use of strong passwords and enhances account security with two-factor authentication (2FA).
Database Record Encryption
When enabled, Remote8 encrypts all sensitive fields stored in the database. This encryption adds an additional layer of security beyond what the database itself provides.
Security Features
While handling your remote tasks with Remote8, you can rest assured that your operations are secure. With multi-layered security measures, Remote8 ensures that your activities are protected.
