Limits worth knowing in Radmin VPN

  • The download page lists Windows 11, 10, 8 and 7 only, with no Mac, Linux or mobile versions.
  • Full remote control needs Radmin Server, installed from the Help menu, and a user set up in it.
  • It is a private-network tool for your own computers, not a service that routes traffic through exit servers in other countries.
  • Some connections fall back to Relay/TCP, which the help page ties to the internet provider or firewall.
