Neorouter 0.9.6

Neorouter 0.9.6 offers homes and small businesses an excellent Remote Access and VPN solution. It helps you manage and connect to all your computers from anywhere. It gracefully integrates Remote Access, File Sharing, Virtual Private Network, User and Access Management.

Many homes or small businesses have high-speed internet and multiple computers, and users are facing challenges like remote access, directory management and network security. To solve similar problems at large enterprises, skilled administrators can deploy very expensive and complex tools like VPN, domain controller and corporate firewall. But home or small business users do not have the right tools that fit their needs.So, Neorouter provides low-cost zero-configuration networking solutions for homes and small businesses.

Major Benefits:

1. Remotely connect to your computer using Windows Remote Desktop or VNC
2. Privately share large files like photos and videos with family and friend
3. Securely encrypt network traffic and protect your personal information when you connect from public WI-FI hotspots

Major Features:

1. Roaming user profile
   You can sign in from any computer using the same account and your profile (including the computer list and your preference) will roam with you.
   
2. High portability
   You can run NeoRouter portable client from a USB drive without installation. This feature is especially useful if you are using a computer that you do not have the privileges to setup new software, e.g. in a library or hotel.
   
3. Fastest connection
   NeoRouter can setup direct peer-to-peer (P2P) connection between computers. When direct P2P connection is impossible (e.g. your computer is behind a corporate firewall), NeoRouter relays the network traffic through your own router, while other VPN products relay through a central server geologically located far away and shared by thousands of other users.
   
4. Advanced user management and access control
   You can create multiple users with different privileges, and grant accesses to a computer or a service individually. For example, you can prevent your gamer friend Bob from accessing the photos you shared with mom.
   
5. Add-ons
   Add-ons extend NeoRouter and let you perform additional tasks over the virtual network.
   
6. Proxy
   Proxy support allows you access your virtual network behind proxy servers that support HTTP Proxy, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocols.
   
7. Remote wakeup
   You can put your computer to standby mode to conserve electricity and NeoRouter can wake up the computer when you actually use it.
   
8. Reliability
   NeoRouter does not rely on a central server for connectivity, so you do not need to worry about the unexpected server maintenance and downtime.
   
9. Run as a windows service
   NeoRouter provides this feature for free, while other VPN products charge a fee for this feature.
   
10. Unlimited network capacity
    There is no limit on how many computers can join the network or how many users can be created.
