LAN/VPN-only remote desktop with direct endpoint connections.
SubnetDesk is a cross-platform remote desktop for devices that are already reachable through the same LAN, a routed private network, or a VPN. It connects directly by IP address or hostname and can discover nearby devices through mDNS, without a public rendezvous or relay service.
