📣 Special Announcement 📣

The Access Remote Project has been active since 2014, going through some interesting changes and facing different challenges. Going from using Microsoft Word to get a web page built, to learning about PHP & MySQL - web design has been a core concept for this project, unlocking a lot of skills which are extremely valuable.

We've learned about Microsoft's Active Directory, LDAP, RDP, Group Policy, IIS and even Deployment Services.

Access Remote started as a project, transformed into a business and will end as a project.

Chat staff here have learned about CodyChat, different features and some even learned the coding aspect. That, is a success in my eyes.

We've built an online store previously that processed real transactions using Stripe API's, then went further with Project Appeals and even started building our own API system and continued to offer free web hosting utilising the RDP protocol.

There are so many success stories I could ramble on about. For now though, it's finally time to consider the project being worthwhile. For the few of you that have stuck around and supported the chat or other projects, I want to say a big thank you. You gave me motivation to push myself through a lot of the challenges this project faced.

The Access Remote domain does not expire until 2030, however with less and less attention being paid to the systems and development, security needs to be considered.

For this reason, Access Remote will be closing its doors January 1st 2026. If you are interested in the Appeals software, download it before it's gone! It'll continue to work without our servers and is open source.

Once more, thank you to all who supported this project!

Until next time 🫡
