FAQ

Self-hosted remote support and web VDI. The relay you run can't watch.

What people ask before they install a relay.

Is Secure Desk VDI?

It is web VDI: persistent Windows desktops in a browser, through a relay you run. It is not Azure Virtual Desktop, Citrix or Omnissa — no published app stacks, no GPU pools, no vendor control plane. Windows endpoints only. Remote support is one use case, not the product.

Can the server in the middle watch the session?

No. After pairing, the console and the device agree on their own keys (ECDH, then AES-256-GCM). Both ends show a 6-digit SAS. The relay you run only forwards ciphertext. Compromise the relay and you get metadata, not screens or keystrokes.

How is this different from TeamViewer or AnyDesk?

You host the relay. There is no vendor cloud looking at the session. Both ends dial out, so you do not open inbound firewall ports on the machines you reach.

Can I run many AI agents, each with its own desktop?

Yes. Enrol each Windows desktop once. Sessions are isolated. The installed service stays up across logon and lock. Backstage opens a SYSTEM shell without taking the agent's screen. Secure Desk does not run the agents; it is how you reach them. Same pipe as web VDI.

Is there a free plan?

Free Starter: self-hosted remote support on a relay you run — 1 operator, 1 concurrent session, 3 enrolled Windows devices. Same end-to-end encryption as paid tiers. Unlicensed installs run as Starter.
