How USB over network solutions work

Essentially USB over Network apps share a USB port to which a USB device is attached. Once you connect to the shared port from a remote PC, the software creates a virtual copy of this port on your computer. As a result, the device plugged into the port appears on your computer like it was connected directly to your machine.
Areas of application for USB over Internet technology
Here are just some of the cases where USB over Internet technology can be really useful
Shared access to security dongles

Shared access to security dongles

You might be thinking, “what’s so hard about connecting my hardware security key to different computers?” And sure, you can unplug your device from one machine and plug it into another one. But what if you don’t have your dongle at hand or there’s no possibility to physically connect it you your local computer? Or let’s imagine that you work for a company that has offices in different countries. How can one security key be shared among multiple workers then? That’s where USB over Internet technology comes into play. Thanks to its outstanding capabilities, you can copy a security dongle and redirect it to any remote PC over the Internet.
