Remote access is often locked behind pricey subscriptions. At CheapITSupport.com/remote, you get a powerful, no-cost alternative to manage and access your computers — whether at home, work, or on the go.

This guide shows what the Remote tool does, how to set it up, and how to use it safely.

The Remote feature lets you:

• Register your computers with a lightweight Python agent.
• See live details like hostname, IP, OS, and last check-in.
• Access machines via RDP or SSH links.
• Launch a WebRTC pop-out viewer to stream the screen and control it with mouse/keyboard.
• Manage multiple devices from one dashboard.

All of this runs on open technology (Flask + Gunicorn + SQLite) and is tied securely to your own account.

Step 1 — Download and Run the Agent

1. Log into CheapITSupport.com/remote.
2. Click ⬇️ Download Remote Agent.
3. Save and run the remote_agent.py file on the computer you want to register.
