Goverlan Reach is a computer remote control software developed by Goverlan, Inc. This software allows you to administer computers remotely in a "silent" (background) mode, without interrupting the work of a remote user [3] . Such actions as viewing system information, installing and removing programs, transferring files, running scripts, installing updates [4] , etc. are supported. Most of the actions can be performed for a group of computers or users [5] .

In addition, remote access to the desktop is supported [6] using the RDP, VNC protocols, as well as a proprietary protocol. The proprietary protocol allows you to adjust the quality of the desktop image, control the keyboard and mouse, redirect the sound from the remote computer, communicate with the remote user using voice communication and text chat, activate the curtain mode [6] [7] . VNC support allows you to administer systems based on macOS and Linux [8] .

History
The idea of creating such a software product came from Pascal Bergeot ( CEO and founder of Goverlan, Inc.) when he worked in the technical support service of one of the major financial institutions of Wall Street . A full understanding of what the product should be came in 1996. In 1998, the first commercial version was released. [one]
Features
Goverlan Reach consists of three parts: Goverlan Reach Console, Goverlan Reach Client and Goverlan Reach Server.
Goverlan Reach Console is installed on computers from which remote control will be performed. This component includes an administration console and an application for remote access to the desktop [9] . The console administers in the "silent" (background) mode, without interrupting the work of remote users, and also allows you to perform complex operations for groups of computers [7] [10] . In turn, the remote control application allows you to connect to the desktop using a proprietary protocol, if Goverlan Reach Client is installed on the remote computers. In addition, it is possible to connect via RDP and VNC to any computers that support these services. Thus, you can also control computers based on macOS and Linux [8] . The preview panel can display desktop thumbnails of all connections in real time [6] .
Goverlan Reach Client installs on remote computers. This agent supports two modes of operation: as a service for unattended access and as an application to help a remote user [4] . In the first case, the agent can be installed remotely [11] . To do this, you must have C $ and IPC $ open for administrators, as well as be within the same local network.
Goverlan Reach Server is required for centralized distribution of settings (policies) [12] and registration of network events. In addition, it includes a Goverlan Reach Gateway Server, which allows you to manage computers located outside the local network. This component is optional [5] .
Security
Goverlan Reach supports NTLM and Kerberos authentication. All data transmitted over the network is encrypted using the TLS protocol and / or AES encryption algorithm [13] .
