PC-Duo Overview

Peer-to-peer connections

When a computer with PC-Duo Master establishes a direct connection to a computer with

PC-Duo Host, the connection that is established is a peer-to-peer connection.

By default, PC-Duo Master searches the network for Host computers when it starts up.

Any Host computers it finds are listed on the Peer-to-Peer Hosts tab of the PC-Duo Master

window.

Peer-to-peer connections from Master (M) to Host (H)

The dotted and solid lines, shown in above depict two different sets of peer-to-peer

connections between PC-Duo Masters to PC-Duo Hosts. PC-Duo‘s peer-to-peer

connections enable the following:

 PC-Duo Master users with proper credentials can securely access Host computers

within the network.

 When you permit full access to a Host computer, the PC-Duo Master user can monitor

all activity on the Host computer. In addition, PC-Duo Master users with full access rights

can exercise complete control over that computer.

 When the Host and Masters are in the same domain, PC-Duo Host can be configured

to use the Microsoft Windows authentication service to check credentials of any PC-Duo

Master users. An access control policy can allow (or deny) full or partial access for

authenticated PC-Duo Master users to access services on a Host computer.

Although PC-Duo‘s peer-to-peer connections provide a secure solution for remote

support, this solution is not recommended for large and/or highly distributed networks;

instead, consider using PC-Duo Gateway for centrally managed remote support

connections.
