Open your office computer from the hotel room

Ben shows how his laptop beams into the office network and opens his office iMac - in under two minutes, in the real app.

Ben about Awacino

What I like: My laptop gets an address inside the office network, so databases and file shares answer at their usual address.
Use case: I use Awacino to work on the office servers and my office iMac from hotels and customer sites.
What works better than with alternative solutions: No VPN gateway on the office firewall and no open port - the connection goes directly and end-to-end encrypted.

Step 1
Pick the office device
Open Awacino. Under My devices Ben sees his office iMac and taps Connect.
Step 2
Choose how much to reach
"Beam this device into the network" gives the laptop an address in the office - the whole network. Screen only or one port are the narrower choices.
Step 3
Awacino finds the direct path
Laptop and office connect directly, encrypted end to end - no VPN gateway, no open port on the office firewall.
Step 4
An address inside the office
The laptop now has a SituIP in the office network. Databases and file shares answer at their usual address.
Step 5
Open the screen
With screen sharing (VNC) or any remote desktop app Ben opens his iMac - as if he were at his desk.
