Anti-Virus On Your Home or Work PC is Blocking The Remote Connection

All Anti-virus software’s are different, but you should be able to unblock the remote session if it is being blocked by your home anti-virus.  

 

If it is the anti-virus on the work PC causing the issue, your IT will need to resolve this.  

 

Please contact our technicians if you require guidance on this. 

Internet Connection

For remote control, we require a 1.5 Mbit/s (192 Kbyte/s) or higher connection speed on each end, as per FCC guidelines for video streaming. For optimal experience in Full HD resolution, a 2 Mbit/s (256 Kbyte/s) connection is recommended. 

 

If your internet speed at home or at work are below these requirements, the session will likely disconnect regularly or not connect at all.
