Staff working from home
Use your office computer from your kitchen table: the accounting system, QuickBooks, files and every app you'd use at your desk, exactly as they are in the office.
Who it's for
People on the road
Reach your work computer from a hotel, an airport or a client's site. Whatever network you're on, PunchThru finds a way through.
Companies and IT providers
Decide who can reach which computers, for your own staff or for every client you look after, from one portal.
Why not a VPN or port forwarding?
- No static IP. Your office can stay on an ordinary internet connection. PunchThru finds your computers wherever they are.
- No open ports. Nothing on the office network is exposed to the internet, so there's nothing for attackers to scan or break into.
- No VPN to build. No VPN server, no router setup, no client configuration. Install the app, sign in, connect.
- Only what you're allowed. A VPN puts people on the whole office network. PunchThru connects each person only to the computers you've given them access to.
- Two-step sign-in. Every account can require a code from an authenticator app, and every connection is logged.
- Encrypted end to end. Built on WireGuard, the modern standard for secure tunnels.
How it works
Direct, through the firewall
Your laptop and your office computer find each other and open a direct path through both networks, the way video calls do. Nothing on the office network has to be opened up.
Relay when it has to
On networks that block every direct path, like some hotels and guest Wi-Fi, the connection carries on through our relay. It stays encrypted the whole way, so the relay can't see inside.
Encrypted end to end
Every session runs inside WireGuard encryption between the two machines, and only signed-in people with permission can start one.
What you can reach
Your work computers
Remote desktop to any Windows PC or server in the office. Run QuickBooks, accounting and line-of-business software, files and email on the machine where they already live.
Private web apps
Open company web apps, like your CRM or an internal portal, straight in your browser, while keeping them closed to the rest of the internet.
Built for teams of every size
- Clients kept apart. IT providers get a separate organization for each client, with its own computers, users and permissions.
- Your team, in control. Owners and admins decide who can reach which computers, and can switch anyone off instantly.
- A quiet agent. A small service on each office computer, with no inbound ports and nothing to configure on the router.
- App or command line. Connect from the Windows app, or script it with the command-line tool.
