But it REALLY gets in the way of non commercial use, which is more important than ever because of covid-19.Īnd they have a lot of tricks to catch commercial use, some of which have false positives. One manual reboot by the computer being worked on will. It can also reboot the computer into the safe mode and automatically reconnect the remote control session. I do understand that nat punching requires use of their resources, and that's why they want subscriptions. The support tech (or scammer) using the TeamViewer can tell the remote computer (which is using the QuickSupport app) to reboot and automatically reconnect the remote control session.

While chrome desktop will let you remote YOUR computer, it's rather useless for helping your friends. you must pay a SUBSCRIPTION just to get the ability to punch through a NAT.Īll free options i am aware of don't allow a nat punching ID without an account, and have one time passwords like TV does. There also used to be a lifetime license. It most likely does this because the previous consequences were not enough of a deterrent.

Now it lies about the reconnect time, and resets it when you try! If you wait an hour or so, it will probably let you in again. And it would tell you the actual reconnect time. In the past it would actually say 'commercial use detected', tell you it was gonna drop you after 5 minutes.
