PCFar
Your PC, from anywhere.
Remote control that nobody else can watch
End-to-end encrypted remote desktop for Windows. Connect by ID over the internet
through your own relay — including the login screen, the lock screen, and after a
reboot. No company server in the middle.
🔒
End-to-end encrypted
AES-256-GCM per message. The relay only ever moves ciphertext it cannot read.
🛡️
Post-quantum
Hybrid ECDH P-256 + ML-KEM-768, so the session holds if either one does.
🖥️
Login screen access
Control through the lock screen, Windows Hello, and straight through a reboot.
🔑
PIN protected
PBKDF2-hardened, bound to the session, with a lockout that survives restarts.
🌐
Your own relay
Run the rendezvous server yourself, or skip it and connect straight to a LAN IP.
📁
Drag and drop files
Drop a file onto the session to send it to the remote desktop.

🔐 Nobody in the middle can read your session
Keys are agreed directly between the two machines and never leave them. Identities
are mutually verified and pinned, so a device that changes its key is refused. The
relay forwards ciphertext and has no way to decrypt it.
Post-quantum key agreement applies when both ends support ML-KEM — Windows does;
macOS does not yet, and the app tells you which you got.
PCFar has not had an independent security audit.
