About DWService

DWService provides remote access to computers through a web browser. You install an agent on the machine you want to reach, then connect to it from a browser on another device without installing a separate client.

The agent is open source and the service is free to use, which makes it suitable for home users and volunteers helping friends or family with their computers. Connections pass through the DWService servers.

Strengths

  • Controller side runs in any web browser
  • Free with an open-source agent
