What is HelpWire?
HelpWire is a remote support solution compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. Technicians can invite users to a session through a shared link, eliminating the need for the person receiving support to register an account or provide login details.
For ongoing maintenance or unresolved issues, technicians can enable unattended access and reconnect to the device later without requiring the user to join another session. The connection can also be restored automatically after the remote computer restarts.
HelpWire is designed to provide responsive control by prioritizing direct peer-to-peer communication. If a direct route cannot be established because of network restrictions, the service automatically uses a relay connection instead. Remote sessions are secured with TLS and AES-256 encryption.
Core features:
- Account-free client access – users can join a support session directly from an invitation link without registration or credentials.
- Automatic reconnection after reboot – resume work on the remote device once it restarts.
- Windows UAC elevation – handle tasks that require administrator privileges during a remote session.
- Cross-device file transfer – exchange files between the technician’s and client’s computers while connected.
- Linux Wayland compatibility – provide support on Ubuntu 22.04+, Fedora, and other distributions that use Wayland as their standard display system.
- Parallel remote connections – allow a technician to support several clients simultaneously or enable multiple operators to work within one session.
- All-monitor access – view and control every display connected to the client device from a single workspace.
- Two-factor authentication – strengthen account security with an additional verification step.
- Compatibility with restricted networks – establish remote support connections in firewall-controlled environments without complex network configuration.
