INSTEAD OF MREMOTENG

An mRemoteNG alternative for saved connections

For when the job is: Keep a hundred devices organised, and get onto one quickly.

Once you look after more than a handful of sites, the problem stops being how to connect and becomes where you wrote the address down. mRemoteNG solved that by keeping SSH, RDP and VNC connections in one tree, and a lot of people still run it.

CySecTek keeps saved connections the same way — a folder per site or customer, holding SSH, SFTP and RDP entries — and connects to them from the same window you scan and diagnose from. The difference worth knowing is how the passwords are stored.

What CySecTek does here

  • SSH, SFTP and RDP entries in folders, searchable, with the most recently used first.
  • Passwords encrypted with ChaCha20-Poly1305 under a key derived from your app password with Argon2id. The password is never stored, so the file is useless to anything that copies it — including a process running as your own Windows account.
  • RDP passwords handed to mstsc through the Windows Credential Manager rather than on a command line, where any process on the machine could read them.
  • SSH host keys pinned on first connect and a change refused, with a panel that shows both fingerprints when a device has genuinely been rebuilt.
  • The connection list is in the same app as the IP scanner, so a host you just discovered can be saved and reconnected to later.

When to keep using mRemoteNG

  • VNC, Telnet, rlogin and the other protocols mRemoteNG supports. CySecTek does SSH, SFTP, RDP and serial.
  • Inheritance and per-folder default settings.
  • Importing an existing mRemoteNG connection file — there is no importer, so an established tree would have to be re-entered.
  • Public-key authentication and SSH agents.

Questions

Can I import my mRemoteNG connections?
No, there is no importer today. That is a real cost if you already have a large tree, and worth knowing before you switch.
How are the passwords protected?
With a key derived from your app password. That is stronger than tying them to the Windows account, because it means a copy of the file — or malware running as you — cannot read them. It also means losing the password loses the credentials; there is no recovery.
Does it do RDP?
It launches the Windows RDP client with the connection details, passing the password through Credential Manager rather than the command line.
