Screens Connect is a free service that simplifies the process of making a Mac or Windows PC accessible for remote connections beyond its local network. It allows users to securely access their computers from anywhere over the internet through Screens, bypassing the complexities of network configurations and firewalls. By automatically configuring the necessary settings, Screens Connect ensures a seamless and reliable connection, enabling users to manage their computers remotely with ease and efficiency.
You'll find configuration instructions in this section.
For remotely connecting to a Linux PC or a Raspberry Pi, we recommend using Tailscale instead. Detailed instructions are available here.
Before You Leave
Before heading out, simulate a remote connection to confirm that your computer is reachable from outside your network. This quick test ensures your setup will work properly when you’re away.
