Network
Invite another person’s device into one of your networks. The guest reaches only what you share, and a code you compare on the phone lets their device in.
You invite a person by e-mail and decide how long they stay and what they may reach: all your devices, single devices or a printer or NAS in a local network. You do it in the network’s “Guests” tab.
The person accepts the invitation on the device that is to become a guest. It shows six digits. Have the person read them out to you themselves, on the phone or in person, and type them on your card.
The guest reaches only what you share with them, for example a NAS or a printer. Your devices never reach the guest’s device.
You keep the overview: the “Guests” tab shows for every guest since when they are in, when they last connected and until when they stay. “Extend” moves the end without a new code, “Remove” ends the access at once.
An invitation appears as a notice above your devices and names the person and the network. Accepting is your own consent on this device. You read the six digits only to the person who invited you.
Everything step by step, for every platform:
No. The guest reaches only what you share with them. Your devices never reach the guest’s device.
The code shows that the right person is at the device. Never type digits that somebody else reads out to you.
Your devices reach each other under simple names and fixed addresses, end-to-end encrypted and only among themselves. You do not need to open anything on your router.
You reach the NAS, printer or camera at home from anywhere through one of your computers as the gateway. The devices in the home network do not need DeskRanger.
On hotel or café Wi-Fi you go online through one of your own computers, as if you were at home. The path there is encrypted, with no third-party VPN provider.
