The software automatically sees and displays the type of a connected device, e.g. if you share USB dongle, those on the remote side will immediately see it as a dongle. This feature comes especially handy when there are a lot of USB peripherals in the network. Serial peripherals are marked with a special indicator to distinguish them from USB devices.
Virtual environment typically does not support USB ports throughput, i.e. while working in a guest OS you cannot see devices connected to the host machine. FlexiHub solves this problem – you can use USB devices in virtual machines created with the help of VMware, Citrix XenDesktop, Microsoft Hyper-V, Virtual PC and other virtualization software.
Thanks to FlexiHub’s own redirection server, in order to share USB dongle between two computers – or actually any number of them - computers are not required to have a real IP address. You might not see the server, i.e. a computer that allowed shared access to its USB ports, but this will not prevent from accessing the devices.
FlexiHub is capable of compressing data for transfer – you can set up an optimal compression ratio. Compressed data takes less time to be sent and received and consumes less traffic.
Using FlexiHub is totally secure: 2048-bit SSL encryption ensures that your data is protected from unauthorized access and loss, even when you share USB dongle Internet over Wi-Fi.
If required, you can lock a USB device from a remote access. No network users will see it, and it is not possible to access and use a locked device.
To share USB dongle over Wi-Fi or any other network, FlexiHub does not require USB drivers installation – neither on a local machine, nor at the remote end.
