1. How do I use SpyAnywhere?
You need to install
SpyAnywhere on the remote machine you wish to monitor. Once
installed configure SpyAnywhere to load on Windows startup in
Listening mode - this will ensure that SpyAnywhere is always
running!
2. How do I access
SpyAnywhere on the remote PC?
Simply point your browser
to http://remote_ip or http://workstation_name (where remote_ip
is replaced by the actual IP of the remote computer, and
workstation_name would be the workstation name of the remote
computer) and enter your SpyAnywhere password in the login area.
Once logged in you will have full access to the remote PC!

3. How secure is SpyAnywhere?
SpyAnywhere is secure as you want it to be. SpyAnywhere can be
configured to filter IP addresses so only certain IP addresses are
allowed access to SpyAnywhere. Make sure you choose a unique IP
address for SpyAnywhere as well! You can choose to limit access
as well to SpyAnywhere by disabling features that you do not want
to be used remotely - such as remote file system browsing.
4. What is the minimum configuration that is able to run SpyAnywhere?
All you need for SpyAnywhere is a Windows machine. It does not
require a web server, since SpyAnywhere is its own HTTP server.
The only thing you need to have running on the machine is TCP/IP.
5. How do I get the IP address of the PC if it is on dialup,
or if the IP changes regularly?
You can configure SpyAnywhere to deliver the IP address via email
every time the IP changes - just use the IP Delivery Via Email feature!
6. Who will have access to SpyAnywhere?
The only user that will have access to the SpyAnywhere software,
locally or remotely, is you - or whoever you give the access password
and ip address to. SpyAnywhere cannot be terminated locally without
your administrator password. You can also configure SpyAnywhere
so only certain IP addresses can access the server.
7. How do I access my remote PC if it is behind a firewall?
The easiest way to access a computer that is protected by a firewall
is to map one of the firewall's ports to SpyAnywhere's port (default
is port 80).
For example:
FIREWALL IP address: 172.120.0.1
SpyAnywhere machine: IP address: 172.120.0.10, Port: 1000
In this case, you should pick a port on the firewall (say, 4000)
and map it to 172.120.0.10:1000
Having done the above, you will be able to access the computer with
the URL http://172.120.0.1:4000
8. How do I access my remote PC if it is on a network?
If the remote computer is on a network, and SpyAnywhere is already
installed, you can either access it externally from the network,
or locally on the network. If you are on the same network, then
just enter in http://workstation_name, or http://ip_address into
your browser to view the computer. However, if you are outside of
the network you will have to enable port forwarding on the network
router to let you access the machine.
9. I always get a "cannot find server"
error when trying to access SpyAnywhere!
This could happen for a few reasons.
- The SpyAnywhere server is not running - confirm it is running
in listening mode on the computer you want to access.
- The IP or computer name you are using is incorrect.
- You are using the external IP for the computer, but it is on
a network and you do not have port forwarding enabled
- You are using the internal IP (network IP) for the computer,
when you should be using the external (make sure port forwarding
is enabled)
