Security:

During the pairing process, a random key is generated to encrypt all traffic between your devices.

This key is not accessible to normal users. Your credentials are encrypted and stored on your phone.

Additional notes:

To pair, both devices must be on the same network or Wi-Fi. The pairing server uses port 43295 by default. If you are using a custom firewall, you may need to add a rule for this port.

The pairing process can be cancelled at any time by pressing Ctrl+Alt on the PC.

Wake on LAN is also supported and a widget is available.
