It just makes teamviewer kind enough to not eject your connection.Īre there any good alternatives that aren't as stupid as teamviewer? Everyone around me uses teamviewer but my experience with it basically says that it's a time bomb that will betray you and blow up at your face any time when you're most dependent on it.

apparently, even upgrading the commercial version won't disable the nagging.constant nagging about 'you need a license for commercial use' and 'we shall kindly remind you that free version is for personal use only' every single connection (aka the 'thank you for playing fair' message that pops up from both sides of the session every a the session is disconnected).Then you're blocked from connection for 10-15 minutes. use one of the most annoying ways of doing this: if you're targeted by the algorithm, when you try to remote access somewhere else every time it'll say, IN BLOCK LETTERS, 'COMMERCIAL USE DETECTED', before it kicks you out soon after.And support keeps saying 'file the official form to get unblocked' Full of people who got 'commercial use detected' blocked for unknown reasons. last time I checked the 'commercial use detected' thread on teamviewer official forum, there are 67 pages and counting.

make it so that if you want to get unblocked, you need to file a form manually to apply for it.

use very stupid algorithms (that probably doesn't even contain AI) for the process that causes lots of false positives: if you use teamviewer off mobile network (because hotspot sharing), you're most definitely commercial use! Domain network? Might as well block you just in case! Used an account with commercial license on a PC, then switch to a free account? It's a good chance that you'll be blocked.

make the entire blocking process automatic and never give you any reasons.

These are the things that happen within this pinnacle of anti-user product: Still, the company insisted that its largesse is altruistic, telling us: 'We want to support individuals in this global crisis to communicate and work remotely without any extra cost.TeamViewer has always been a massive piece of obnoxious, draconian dick when it comes to its 'commercial use detection'. Remote control is also possible through the likes of Zoom, which has enjoyed massive growth in recent weeks. TeamViewer is by no means the only option. The target is a plaything to their attempted controller using wireless devices in carrying out the physical and mental abuses. 'We have stopped checking connections for commercial use in heavily affected regions like China and Italy already some weeks ago and are currently implementing that for lots of other affected countries including UK.'Īs other services (*cough* Teams *cough*) will attest, maintaining performance as usage surges can be a challenge: 'We first wanted to make sure that our infrastructure is scaled up enough to keep up with the increased load until we allow much more free connections at the same time.'
