Hello John,
Thank you for your message.
First, let me tell you about security. With Remote Utilities your connection is always secure regardless of your license or connection type (direct or Internet-ID). Currently, the program uses TLS 1.2 to encrypt traffic between Viewer and Host. The role of an intermediary routing server is to bounce the encrypted packets, the server cannot read them because they are end-to-end encrypted. You can learn more about RU security on this page
https://www.remoteutilities.com/product/security.phpAs for privacy, RU is a regular TCP/IP application and doesn't deliberately hide your IP address when you connect to our hosted service or directly to a remote Host. If you want to learn more about what information pertaining to your connection the program can store please refer to our Privacy Policy, the section "
Information we collect when you use the Product".
Let me know if you need anything else.
