Who is connected, right now
A local page on the remote computer lists each live session with the technician's name and a running timer. It opens by itself when they accept a connect-by-ID session.
Take away anything, instantly
Switch off keyboard, mouse, clipboard, files, terminal or sound for that session. The technician's viewer is told at once. The person can only restrict — never grant more than the permission profile allows.
Disconnect in one click
Disconnect ends the session immediately, and the technician is told the person at the computer disconnected them.
A frame they can't miss
An amber border around every monitor while a session is live, on Windows, macOS and Linux (X11) — on by default in Security Policy. It is drawn once, so it costs no bandwidth.
Idle sessions end themselves
Optionally end a session after N minutes without keyboard or mouse input, with the reason shown to the technician.
Decide who may connect by code
Anyone with the code, only people signed in to Silux Connect, or an allow-list of emails, *@yourcompany.com domains and IP ranges.
Private by design
The page is served by the agent on 127.0.0.1 only, behind a random token, and refuses foreign host names. Nothing leaves the computer.
Frequently asked questions
Can the person being helped stop the session?
Yes — Disconnect on the connection page ends it instantly, and they can switch off individual permissions at any time.
Can I restrict connect-by-code to my own company?
Yes. In Security Policy choose “Only the list below” and add *@yourcompany.com, specific emails or IP ranges.
