betterkvm has no cloud component, no account, and no telemetry. This page spells out what that means in practice.
betterkvm runs entirely on your local network. There is no analytics, no phone-home, no account, and no license-server check at runtime. The daemon communicates only with the peers you configure. UDP discovery packets carry machine names; once a shared password is set, all session traffic — keystrokes, mouse, clipboard, and files — is encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Nothing leaves your network.
betterkvm.com is a static site hosted on DigitalOcean App Platform. The host
keeps standard server access logs (such as IP address and user agent) for operational and
security purposes. We do not set tracking cookies, run third-party analytics, or load ad
networks.
When license purchasing is available, payments will be handled by a third-party payment processor. We will receive only the information needed to issue and support your license — such as your email address and which license you bought. We will not sell or share that information.
