Why WallCooler?

WallCooler is a free, secure and user friendly VPN solution that enables you to work from anywhere: access your e-mails, files, applications or network resources from home, hotels, airports or any other place via the public Internet.

Ideal for individuals looking for the functionality of a powerful VPN solution but with the simplicity, speed of a remote access solution.

Commercial solutions usually fall in either of the following groups:

Remote Screen Access
you spend your time in a window on your local computer representing your remote computer (images of your remote desktop are downloaded everytime you move your mouse or type a letter). Your main advantages are simplicity and maintenance but, equally, your main issues lie in limited usage flexibility, remote security and files synchronization.
Commercial VPN Softwares and/or Hardwares
Your local computer is connected to a remote network (usually corporate) giving you direct access to remote resources such as e-mail servers, network files or CRM applications.
The main benefits are increased usage flexibility, off-line work and user experience (you are not stuck in a window of your remote desktop), but again some major disadvantages are slowness (usually with software based VPNs), disconnection from the local network, complex settings and price.

WallCooler offers the best of both worlds:
» Remote Screen World: Simplicity, maintenance and low cost (WallCooler is free).
» VPN World: flexibility, off-line work, professional usage (access to a full network).

Easy Installation

All the required softwares are included in just one file. Click on the file to install WallCooler

Download and install WallCooler in few minutes.

Automatic Setup

Only a login and password are required to complete the installation and setup.

After the one off installation, WallCooler runs in the background. You don't need to worry about it anymore: you can now seamlessly work on remote resources.

Maximum security

All data sent by WallCooler is protected with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption using 128-bit keys, the industry standard for secure transmissions.

Access and permissions are enforced with OS-Level authentication and a Vedivi login/password.

Secure Internet connections: all the traffic between you local and remote computers is encrypted and no one can view what you're doing(not even Vedivi).

Login and Password: WallCooler will connect only upon successful authentication. The same login and password are required to connect two computers to one another.

OS-Level Authentication and Credentials: You can only connect or use remote resources you have access rights for, such as Microsoft Windows OS-Level permissioning and Network level credentials.

Complete Privacy

All data is encrypted and nobody can decipher ('see') what you send or receive.

For example, you open a remote file directly in Microsoft word on your local computer, what happens?

The remote WallCooler opens the file, encrypts the information and start sending the encrypted data to your local WallCooler via the vedivi servers.
The local WallCooler receives the encrypted data, deciphers it and sends the information to MS Word.

High Performance

No more lags when scrolling documents, typing e-mails or moving windows.

WallCooler is a new generation of VPN, optimized for demanding network applications.
Vedivi has overcome problems faced by exisiting VPNs:

High throughput: WallCooler can easily support TCP bandwidth >10Mbs (the problem known as 'TCP over TCP meltdown' is history)

Connectivity: WallCooler recovers automatically from temporary connection loss without impact on connected application (Remote Screen, File Transfer)

Keep it small: WallCooler performes High compression, so the effective transfer rate will be greater than your Internet bandwidth.

Secure Remote Screen

You can see the desktop of any remote computer.

You don't need any additional software, a computer running Windows XP Professional already has a built-in feature called Remote Desktop.
With Remote Desktop, you can have access to a Windows' session that is running on your remote computer and thus without unlocking your remote screen.
This is somehow much more secure than traditional remote screen services that allow you to connect to the remote desktop by unlocking the remote screen.

>> Get started using Remote Desktop

Off-Line e-mails

Read and Write your e-mails when no Internet connection is available.

Use the same e-mail software you use at work: it's easier to read and deal with documents attached to e-mails, start reply to e-mail while your are on the move or offline and then send everything once an Internet connection is available.

Remote Printing

Print from your any application on any remote printer

From your applications, such as Microsoft Work or PowerPoint, you can directly print on a printer at the office (a simple File->Print...) as long as you have access to this printer.
