No router changes
No public RDP port and no port forwarding.
Private remote access for two Windows PCs
Your other PC,
one click away.
Use the same guided starter kit on both computers. It finds the other PC, prepares Windows Remote Desktop, and gives you one clear Connect button—without router setup or IP addresses.
You will sign in to Tailscale once on each PC. The setup guides everything else.

Simple from the start
One download. Two computers.
Three short steps.
You use the same package on both PCs. There is no networking vocabulary to learn.
-
1
Prepare the PC you want to reach
Open START HERE, choose to allow access, and approve the Windows setup. It checks compatibility and keeps the private connection available after a restart.
-
2
Use the same kit on your second PC
Sign in with the same Tailscale account. That one browser sign-in on each PC safely puts both computers on the same private Tailscale network.
-
3
Click Connect
Wait for Ready, then connect. Enter the other PC’s Windows password the first time; Windows can remember it for later.

Before you begin
A quick compatibility check
The setup checks these items for you, but it helps to know the one important Windows limitation first.
Windows Home can connect, but it cannot be controlled. The PC you want to reach needs Windows 11 Pro, Enterprise, or Education because Microsoft does not include the Remote Desktop host in Home.
What you need
- ✓The PC being controlledWindows 11 Pro, Enterprise, or Education
- ✓The PC used to connectWindows 11 Home or above
- ✓Both PCsInternet access and the same Tailscale sign-in
- ✓One administrator approvalNeeded when preparing a PC to be controlled
- ✓The other PC’s Windows passwordUse the password, not a Windows Hello PIN
A powered-off or sleeping PC cannot be reached.
Private by design
Your desktop does not pass through this website.
Tailscale provides end-to-end encryption between your computers; when a direct path is unavailable, it may use an encrypted relay. Microsoft Remote Desktop carries the screen, keyboard, microphone, sound, and clipboard over that private connection—not through this website. Two-PC Remote does not collect your Windows password.
- ✓No public Remote Desktop port
- ✓No account or password database on this site
- ✓No reusable Tailscale key inside the download
Common questions
Good to know before the first connection
Do I need to install Tailscale myself?
No dependency hunting is required. START HERE checks for Tailscale and downloads its current official Windows installer when needed. You still need internet access, and you must sign in once on each PC. Tailscale then remains running quietly in the background.
Will it work after a restart?
Yes, after the guided setup enables unattended mode. The PC normally becomes available shortly after Windows and the internet connection start. It cannot connect while shut down or asleep.
Can the controlled PC use Windows Home?
No. In this public package, the controlled PC needs Windows 11 Pro, Enterprise, or Education. A Windows 11 Home PC may still be the computer you use to connect.
Do I need a static IP or router settings?
No. The app finds your other PC through Tailscale, even if its local or internet address changes. You do not open port 3389 to the public internet.
Can I use my microphone and copy and paste?
Yes. Microphone input, remote sound, and clipboard sharing are requested automatically for every connection. A company policy or a particular remote application can still block microphone access.
What password should I enter?
Use the Windows account password for the other PC—not its Windows Hello PIN. Windows handles any saved credential; Two-PC Remote does not store it.
Can someone use the other PC locally at the same time?
Usually not. Standard Windows Remote Desktop can lock the local screen or replace an existing session. It is designed for remote access, not simultaneous collaborative screen sharing.
What if the app says Offline?
Make sure the other PC is awake, online, and connected to Tailscale. The launcher checks again automatically, or you can press F5 to check immediately.
Will my existing Tailscale devices still work?
Yes. Setup does not remove devices, sign out an existing account, or change your tailnet access rules. Other permitted computers can still connect with valid Windows credentials. If more than one other Windows PC is visible, Two-PC Remote asks you to choose one once in Settings.
Ready when you are
