Crossloop
Crossloop was a remote desktop access and collaboration software application. It allowed users to remotely control another computer, share screens, and transfer files over the internet. It was primarily targeted towards technical support, online collaboration, and remote assistance.
Crossloop utilized a peer-to-peer (P2P) connection, meaning that data transferred directly between the two computers involved, rather than routing through a central server, after the initial handshake and connection setup. This direct connection could offer improved speed and reduced latency in some cases compared to server-based solutions.
A key feature of Crossloop was its built-in firewall traversal capabilities, which aimed to simplify the process of establishing remote connections even when computers were behind firewalls or network address translation (NAT) devices.
Crossloop offered both free and paid versions. The free version typically had limitations on features or usage, while the paid version provided enhanced functionality and support.
The company behind Crossloop was acquired, and the software is no longer actively developed or supported. Users seeking similar functionality would now need to explore alternative remote desktop software solutions.
