New External Agent mode (Preview) for monitoring remote company computers without requiring a VPN:
Built on the widely trusted WireGuard technology.
Remote agents connect to your Monitor endpoint over a secure, encrypted tunnel.
Monitor company computers used from home, while traveling, or in branch offices, not just devices on the local network.
Works well in Microsoft 365 environments and does not require the Monitor server to resolve remote client DNS names, or connect to them.
No firewall or NAT changes are needed on the remote user’s network.
The Monitor endpoint can be hosted on your network or in the cloud.
External Agent mode is supported only on company-owned, IT-managed Windows devices that are joined to the organization’s AD domain or Entra tenant.
Personal devices (BYOD) are not supported by External mode.
Turn it on in Options – External Agents tab. Try it and send us your feedback.
