“I guess most of us know the likes of TeamViewer , NetViewer or Copilot which all work more or less great for doing remote control and/or remote support . Edit In light of UnisoftDesign's answer : Additional clarification: These tools make it trivial for non-technical users to set up a Remote Control connection to a support engineer. Typically, both sides are behind a firewall they have no control over. Noone involved…”

Why this is a gap
Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.
The market
IT teams managing on-premise remote support tools want firewall-free setup. Zero search volume suggests demand is real but not widely Googled—teams may assume firewalls are necessary.
Competition & the opening
1/10 competition is misleading: TeamViewer, Copilot, and AnyDesk are named incumbents dominating this space. The opening is narrowly in self-hosted, no-setup scenarios, but entrenched habits and network effects are strong.
What's hard to build
Tunneling through NAT without firewall config requires sophisticated hole-punching, relay infrastructure, or persistent backend connections; building reliable, low-latency remote desktop streaming with compression and input lag minimization is extremely complex.
Why now
Wireguard and modern zero-trust networking make NAT traversal easier; TeamViewer/Copilot licensing and privacy concerns create opening.
