What it does
The first time you open BenLotus Remote it gives your PC a permanent 9-digit ID and a password. Someone else types that ID and password and clicks Connect. You get an Accept / Deny prompt, and nothing happens until you accept. While a session is open, a red banner stays on top of your screen; click it to disconnect at any time.
Connections go straight between the two PCs (peer to peer) when possible, and fall back to an encrypted relay when a network blocks that. The screen, input, clipboard, and files are all encrypted end to end. Video uses your GPU's hardware encoder for smooth 60 fps at 1080p.
