Remote access
Unattended remote desktop that's part of the toolkit, not another subscription.
Take the desktop of any Windows, Linux or macOS computer from the browser, with nobody there to click Accept. Full desktops, single apps, PowerShell and SSH, from $0 on one machine and $2 per endpoint after that.
Optanik gives your IT team unattended remote access to every enrolled computer, straight from the browser. Open the full desktop, a single app, a terminal, or an internal web page through the machine's own network. Nobody has to be at the keyboard, and there's no VPN client to install.
Every way to reach a machine
- Remote Control. Take the full desktop from the device page. A second technician can join the same session without taking the keyboard. Ctrl-Alt-Del and view-only are built in.
- VDI desktops. Save any computer as a desktop card on the Workspaces page, so the people who use it can open its whole desktop in a browser tab.
- Terminals. PowerShell on Windows, SSH on Linux and macOS. Headless Linux servers are SSH only.
- URLs through a device. Open a router page, a printer or an internal tool through the network of a computer that can reach it.
- Remote Assist. For someone who isn't in Optanik yet, like a customer or a new hire: they run a small portable app and read you an ID and a one-time password.
Reach the login screen, not just the desktop
The Windows agent runs as a service that starts before anyone signs in, so you can reach the sign-in screen after a reboot. Turn on auto login after reboot for a kiosk or a server that has to come back on its own.
It comes with the rest of the job
Remote access is usually where the work starts, not where it ends. In the same console you can patch the machine, copy files to it from the browser, push software, check its BitLocker key, open a help desk ticket that's linked to it, and isolate it on the Optanik Network if it looks compromised.
What it costs
| Optanik | |
|---|---|
| One computer | Free, 12 hours of remote use a day |
| Each paid endpoint | $2.00 per month (unattended, no daily limit) |
| Technicians | Free, no limit |
| Contract | None, billed monthly |
Many remote desktop tools charge per technician or per concurrent session. Optanik charges per endpoint and includes every technician and every session.
Common questions
Is it secure?
Every session goes through the Optanik agent's own encrypted tunnel, and only workspace members with permission to that device can open it. Optanik's remote desktop is built on RustDesk; see the technical notes.
Does it work on Mac and Linux?
Yes. Windows, Linux and macOS agents all support remote control. Linux servers without a screen are reached over SSH.
Can a contractor reach only some machines?
Yes. Share a group with someone outside the workspace, and they get remote access to that group's computers only, without becoming a full user.
