The AnyDesk VPN establishes a secure network between local and remote clients, ensuring privacy and security during data exchange. Please note that accessing devices on the remote client’s local network from the local connecting device or vice versa is not possible.

Note: The AnyDesk VPN feature is currently available on macOS, Linux, and Android clients with the standard installation.

Start a VPN connection

Initiate a VPN connection by entering the ID/Alias of the remote device and clicking the “VPN” button in the main window, instead of the regular “Connect” button.
