TLS 1.3 encryption, zero-knowledge architecture, and port 443 — how GoDeskFlow keeps your remote sessions secure without compromising on performance.
Every remote desktop session is, by nature, a potential attack surface. You're sending keystrokes, mouse movements, and screen content across the internet. That's why encryption isn't optional — it's the foundation. GoDeskFlow uses TLS 1.3 for all connections with end-to-end encryption. Even our relay servers cannot decrypt your session data.
Our architecture follows a zero-knowledge design. When you set a permanent password for unattended access, it's hashed locally before being stored. The password never leaves your device in plaintext, and our servers never see it. During connection, authentication happens via a challenge-response protocol — the actual password is never transmitted over the network.
We route all traffic through port 443 (the same port used by HTTPS) for two reasons. First, it's almost never blocked by firewalls or corporate proxies, so your connections just work. Second, the traffic is indistinguishable from regular HTTPS traffic to network observers, adding a layer of privacy.
Beyond encryption, GoDeskFlow includes practical security features: connection approval prompts (so no one can silently connect to your machine), session logging with timestamps, and temporary one-time passwords for support sessions. Security isn't a feature we bolt on — it's how we build everything.
