Home / Use cases / Remote support

Remote support and maintenance without friction.

Get onto user workstations fast — attended via screen control or unattended, all in the browser and without port forwarding.

Whether ad-hoc help at a user's desk or planned maintenance after hours — with Termiverse you start remote support and maintenance straight from the browser. Attended screen control, SSH terminal and remote desktop sit in one interface, with no VPN, client install or inbound port forwarding.

Starting point

Why classic remote support slows you down

Many support teams juggle several tools: one for attended screen help, a VPN for server access, another client for the terminal. Each has to be installed, updated and licensed — often per technician. As soon as a device sits behind a firewall, port forwarding or VPN dial-in is added on top. And the question of who may actually access what often goes unanswered in daily work. That costs time on the hotline and opens unnecessary security gaps.

How it works

Three steps to access

1

Provide access

For ad-hoc support the remote user's browser is enough. For permanent access you roll out the agent once via an enrollment token — as a Windows service, without manual server configuration.

2

Find it in the grid

Devices and connections appear in the grid, sorted by your groups. One click starts attended control, a terminal or a remote desktop — role-based access (RBAC) checks the permission first, automatically.

3

Control & document

You take the screen, work in the terminal or on the remote desktop. Every session runs encrypted over TLS and lands in the audit log; it can be recorded on demand.

In practice

Why Termiverse fits here

Connected instantly

Via enrollment token or straight in the browser — no VPN, no inbound ports, no install on the user side.

Take attended control

Take the screen live, open a terminal or launch a remote desktop — in one interface.

Cleanly governed

Access follows your roles and groups (RBAC), runs encrypted over TLS and is traceable as a session recording.

Before / after

What changes day to day

The old way

Several tools side by side, VPN dial-in for servers, a client to install on the user side, licence costs per technician — and no central record of who accessed what, and when.

With Termiverse

One deck for attended help, terminal and remote desktop. No VPN, no port forwarding, unlimited technicians at a flat price — every session governed by RBAC and traceable in the audit log.

From the field

A typical support case

A user reports in the morning that her ERP software won't start. The technician opens Termiverse in the browser, joins her screen with consent and sees the error at once. A quick look at the terminal of the server behind it — reachable through the firewall tunnel, without a VPN — reveals a full disk. After clearing it, the app starts again; the session is recorded and documented in the audit log. From ticket to fix takes just a few minutes — and nobody had to install any software.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the user need to install anything?
For attended support the browser is enough. For permanent, unattended access a small agent is installed as a Windows service.
Do I need port forwarding or a VPN?
No. Agents connect outbound over TLS.
Are Windows and Linux supported?
Yes. Attended control, terminal and remote desktop work across platforms.
Can I record support sessions?
Yes. SSH sessions are captured as a terminal recording, RDP and VNC via guacd, and replay in the browser — useful as evidence for audits.
How do I reach devices behind a firewall?
Via dedicated tunnel endpoints with a target allowlist you reach SSH, RDP and VNC behind a firewall or NAT — with no inbound port forwarding.
