Remote access to a computer via the Internet. Disable remote computer control Remote control via browser

Hi all! Imagine you are leaving. It doesn’t matter: to the office on the next street for a few hours, on a business trip or on vacation. But you know for sure: you may need the data that is stored on your home computer. For some reason, you can't take them with you: for example, you don't know exactly which books from your huge library you'll need, or which samples you'll want to insert into a song you write on the islands. But you will need access to your home computer.

Good news for you: humanity has long figured out how to remotely connect to a computer via the Internet. True, you will need to prepare for this case in advance. In the article below we will tell you how.

2 methods will be used. The first is using standard Windows applications, and the second is using third-party programs.

How to prepare your computer for remote connection using Windows

Remember the jokey lines from old Nokia instructions? Well, yes, “the phone must be turned on to use this function”? You will laugh, but we will also play Captain Obvious: in order for you to connect remotely to your computer, it must remain turned on and connected to the Internet.

But this is an obvious consideration. There are also not so clear ones: for example, the interaction between two computers - your home and the one through which you will connect - is based on the “client-server” scheme, and your home computer will act as a server, and the client will be the one you have with yourself. Before you connect to another computer via the Internet, you need to prepare both.

Let's start with the home computer. Let's assume on it. It must be said that the Home version is not suitable for this function to work: you must have at least Windows 10 Pro.

The first step is to allow remote connection to your computer. This is done using system tools: go to Control Panel/System/System Protection/Remote Access, find the line “Allow remote connection” and check the box there.

The second thing you will need is a static IP address. In the same Control Panel, you need to go to the “Network and Internet / Network Connections” section, find the adapter that is currently in use, and right-click its menu.

Click on “Properties”, select the line “IP version 4” and click “Properties” in the same tab. Here you need, available locally, but not used by the router (the occupied range can be found in the menu of the router itself). In the “Subnet Mask” line, you usually enter “255.255.255.0.”, and in the “Default Gateway” line - the IP of your router. It can also be entered as a DNS server, but there are options here. For example, Google public DNS addresses are also valid: 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8.

For example it could be like this:

You will also need to configure port 3389 on the router (how to do this, read the instructions for the router or in thematic discussions).

However, all manipulations from this point can be avoided if, when leaving, you completely turn off the router and leave the computer connected directly to the provider’s network. Then all you need to do is know yours and check with your provider that it will remain unchanged.

How to prepare a terminal using Windows

By “terminal” we mean the computer from which you will connect to your remote one. All you need for this is an application called “Remote Desktop”. Your version of Windows may already have it. If not, you can download it from the Microsoft app store.

The application is made in Modern style, with touch screens in mind, but it is convenient to work with it in the traditional way. To add your home computer, you need to click the plus button in the upper right corner of the window. In the drop-down menu, select Desktop and enter access data - a local IP address if the computer is on the same network as you, or an external one if you are connecting via the Internet.

To access your computer you will need your account credentials. If you are using a Microsoft account, enter your account information. If local, enter your username and password. Click "Save" to avoid entering data every time you connect. Of course, if you are using the Remote Desktop application on someone else's computer, you do not need to save your login information on it.

If configured correctly, after connecting, you will be able to see the desktop of your computer in the program window and run any programs or open files from it.

We only considered the option when Windows 10 Pro is installed on the remote computer. Other versions of Windows do not have this functionality or require more advanced settings. However, remote control of a computer via the Internet is also possible through universal solutions, which we will consider below.

Third party remote access tools

Although Windows has its own remote access organization, there are third-party programs that do it better. Let's look at a few of the most famous of them.

TeamViewer

One of the first programs that more or less initiated people thought of when they saw the title was TeamViewer. Naturally, we will start with it.

The advantages of this program are not only well-known and popular (and, as a result, commercial success, demanding users and attentive developers, plus support). TeamViewer is a fairly simple, flexible and multifunctional solution. By and large, you don't even need a second computer to connect to your home one: an iPhone, iPad or Android device is enough. Clients exist for most mobile platforms, plus Windows, OS X and Linux.

In addition to remote desktop, the application supports voice and video calls. So, for example, if one of your family or colleagues maintains access to your computer and needs your help, you can communicate as you work directly in TeamViewer, without leaving the session or using other programs.

Your connection will be protected by 256-bit AES encryption, making it virtually useless to be intercepted.

The most valuable feature of the program, which cannot be overestimated, is the ability to turn on your home computer using a signal via the Internet. If there were hours-long power outages in your absence, no UPS will help. But TeamViewer will allow your computer to turn on when requested from outside.

And one more plus - the program is not divided into client and server parts. It is enough to install a single version on both computers. And then everything is configured in a few clicks.

By and large, the program has only one drawback: cost. A license for one copy for a private user costs about $200. But if timely access to a computer is worth it, why not?

Radmin

The name of this product means “Remote Administrator”, which immediately conveys its purpose. In terms of functionality, it roughly corresponds to Team Viewer: you can remotely access your computer, turn it on and off using network commands, launch programs, open files and move data between the remote PC and the terminal.

Radmin is inferior to TeamViewer only in some aspects: it does not offer applications for mobile devices, does not provide simultaneous access to a computer from several terminals, and is not so widespread.

One of the main advantages of Radmin is the price. A single license for the program to access one computer will cost only 1,250 rubles - that’s a little more than $20: ten times cheaper than Team Viewer! At the same time, you will receive all the benefits of commercial programs: constant support,

However, if you need a completely free solution, it is there too.

UltraVNC

Yes, it exists! A free application that works on the same principle as the above. But it provides remote access to a computer via the Internet very well.

Yes, in some aspects UltraVNC is inferior to commercial solutions. So, to provide 256-bit encryption, you will need to install a special plugin. The desktop client is only for Windows, and mobile clients exist only for Android and iOS. There is no built-in voice communication, so remote support will have to be done using Skype or a regular phone, or built-in text chat.

But, on the other hand, a remote access tool for free is not such a frequent pleasure. Therefore, we recommend using UltraVNC first, and then, if some important functions are sorely lacking, turn to commercial products.

Hello to all readers of my blog. Marat Nauruzbaev is with you. In the last article I told. Today I will tell you how you can organize remote access to your computer via the Internet.

It's no secret that sometimes there is a need to remotely connect to your home or work computer to download any files or to remotely control your desktop.

For these purposes, special programs are used for remote access to a computer. Moreover, this can be done from anywhere in the world, from almost any computer or even from your smartphone. For remote access, you will not need a static IP; the connection will be made through a generated ID.

I will talk about the three most popular remote access programs, how to install, configure and use these programs. So, let's go...

TeamViewer program

I have been familiar with this program for a long time, and it helped me remotely administrate computers while in an office in another city.

The program has a simple interface, but at the same time it has many additional functions, such as creating interactive conferences, chat, launching in a browser, and multi-platform. Program TeamViewer Free for non-commercial use only.

Installing and configuring TeamViewer

To install TeamViewer go to the section " DownloadTeamViewer full version» click « Download» (all pictures are clickable)

To transfer files, this convenient file manager opens

ProgramLitemManager

Program for remote access to a computer Litemanager allows you to manage up to 30 computers for free (for individuals and legal entities).

Possibilities Litemanager similar TeamViewer, except that the free version of Litemanager does not have the ability to use audio video chat. Also, the paid version of Litemanager has an interesting feature “ Record server desktop according to schedule" I didn’t notice such a function in TeamViewer...

Installation and configuration LitemManager -Server

For installation Litemanager go to , to the section “ Download"and vice versa LiteManager Pro/Free click " Download»

The program distribution package is downloaded in an archive. Double-click on the program archive

The archive opens in your default archiver program.

Program Litemanager consists of 2 parts: the server part (Server) and the viewer (Viewer).

LitemanagerServer is installed on the computer you want to access.

LitemanagerViewer is installed on the computer from which you want to control another computer.

I hope I explained it clearly... :)

You can, in principle, install both parts and from your computer you can control and be controlled. How... clever... 🙂 .

Well, here it is to install LitemanagerServer, run it to install

To scroll through the pictures, click " Back" or " Forward»

At some point the program will ask you to enter a password to access this computer, click “ Change/install»

We come up with and enter a password, click “ OK»

Note: At the time of writing, the programAmmyy admin could only be downloaded in browsers Internet Explorer And Opera.

Run the downloaded file AA_vx.exe

Ammyy admin launches immediately without installation.

The main window can be roughly divided into two halves. In the left half of the window ( Client) your ID and IP are displayed. In the right half ( Operator) you can enter the client ID/IP and click the “ Connect» to access the remote computer.

Accordingly, in order for the connection to occur, the program must also be running on the remote computer Ammyy admin

I hasten to note that this program does not require a password to connect. When connecting to a remote computer, a window will appear in which you will need to select connection options and click the “ Allow» to agree to operate the computer. You can also check the box “ Remember my answer for this operator"so that in the future the operator with this ID will connect without the client’s consent

After connecting, a window with the desktop of the remote computer will appear on your screen, on which you can work as if you were behind it

In addition to connecting to a remote desktop, it is also possible to launch a voice chat or file manager by selecting the appropriate menu items in the operator window

Or in the main Ammyy Admin window go to the menu “ Ammyy» — « Service» — « Delete»

Conclusion

In this article, we looked at the main three programs for accessing a remote computer, figured out how to install, configure and use these programs.

All programs deserve attention and have the right to life and further development. Each of them is good in its own way and has its own differences, although all of these programs perform the main role of connecting a remote desktop well.

I will still outline the main points when working with these programs:

TeamViewer works great and is functional, but still for commercial use its cost is high;

LiteManager more complex in settings, on my computer it had a low connection speed, especially with low Internet speeds, but it is free when connecting up to 30 computers and the ability to remotely control the computer without the user noticing;

AmmyyAdmin a simple program with the most necessary functionality, runs without installation, but is free only up to 15 hours per month.

By the way! If you want me to provide you with computer assistance using these programs, go to my section.

That's all for me, please write in the comments which remote access program you used and which one you liked the most.

The ability to work remotely with a computer is simply irreplaceable and important. Remote access ( Remote access) to your PC allows you to access all your files, programs from another computer via the Internet from anywhere in the world at any time. This makes it possible to organize joint rallies, interactive conferences, communicate with friends, demonstrate the work of programs and much more, which is enough for your imagination :-).

Remote access to your computer is carried out using special applications that you simply download via the Internet. There are quite a lot of remote access service offerings. In this review we will look at 5 web services for remote access to your computer, which are currently the most convenient and functional.

1. TeamViewer

TeamViewer is undoubtedly one of the leaders among remote PC access services. TeamViewer establishes a connection to any PC or server in the world in just a few seconds.

You can remotely control your partner's computer as if you were sitting in front of him. All you or your partner needs to do is download the TeamViewer client module and run it. The program gives him a computer ID and password, he tells them to you by phone or instant messenger, and now you are already working on his computer. No more effort is required - no need to install the program, no need to configure it.

Data transfer to TeamViewer is carried out using standard web protocols, so there is no need to ask your system administrator to enable, open or configure anything. I downloaded it, launched it, and everything works.

TeamViewer includes full data encryption based on RSA private/public key exchange and AES (256-bit) session encryption. This technology is based on the same standards as https/SSL and is considered completely secure among the standards currently in use.

Key exchange also ensures complete protection of data transferred from client to client. This means that even our router servers cannot control the flow of data.

TeamViewer provides two versions:

• Free - for non-commercial use, but the free version has a number of limitations. Cross-platform work is not supported, you cannot embed your company logo in the client module, it is not possible to use high-performance company servers for connection, installation on server systems is not supported, the number of partners during a presentation is limited to two.
• Paid - a license with an unlimited validity period in three options: business, premium and corporation. Its cost varies from 700...3200 USD. for one license.

TeamViewer runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, iOS and Android operating systems.

2.LogMeIn

LogMeIn- one of the popular applications for remote access to PS. It allows you to quickly and easily control a remote computer over the Internet, as if you were sitting right in front of it. The application is very easy to install and there is a 100% free version for use, which includes, among other things, applications for remote access to your PC from any iPad/iPhone and, importantly, the free version uses 256-bit SSL encryption, just like the paid version .

Paid versions start from 12 euros per computer per month; there are many different packages in terms of prices and functionality. For example, the more computers you want to connect using LogMeIn, the lower the price per computer.

3. ShowMyPc

ShowMyPc- another web service for remote access and sharing of a computer. There is a standard set of remote access and administration. There is a free version, but it is quite limited in functionality and is suitable for small tasks, but the paid versions are quite affordable in price and start from 14 USD. per month.

4. UltraVNC

UltraVNC - powerful, easy to use, and most importantly, free application that uses the VNC protocol to control remote desktops on other computers.

Supports standard remote access set . In addition to remote control, additional features are supported, such as an encryption module for a secure client-server connection. Contains a Java Viewer module that allows you to access your computer using a simple Web browser that supports Java. File sending, chat and various authentication methods are also possible. One of the program’s features is quite interesting - fine-tuning the server part, for example, if you want to hide the presence of a server program on a remote computer .

Remote computer control programs allow you to remotely control another computer over the Internet or on a local network. This is convenient when you need to help a less experienced user, for example, a relative or friend who is not well versed with a computer, do something on it without leaving your comfortable chair and without wasting your nerves and time on telephone conversations. Such programs are also convenient to use for remote work, for example, from home to connect to the office and vice versa - to access your home PC, for system administration of an entire fleet of computers and servers.

Let's conduct a comparative analysis of remote control programs and highlight their advantages and disadvantages.

TeamViewer

One of the most popular programs for remote access, it can be quickly downloaded and installed or launched immediately, without installation, even a not very experienced user can handle it. When launched, the program displays a window with an ID and password to access this computer, and TeamViewer also allows you to connect to another computer by specifying its ID and password.

Advantages:
The program has several main modes of operation: remote control, file transfer, chat, demonstration of your desktop. The program allows you to set up 24/7 access to your computer, which will be convenient for system administration. The speed of operation is quite decent, there are versions for all mobile platforms, for various operating systems, which is very pleasing. A simple and completely understandable interface plus a number of additional utilities to expand the functionality of the program will be useful for remote support services.

Flaws:
Although the program is free, it is only for non-commercial use, and when working with it for more than 5 minutes, a number of difficulties arise, for example, TV can block a remote connection session, recognizing it as commercial use. For round-the-clock remote access or administration of several computers or a computer network, you will have to pay for additional program modules. The cost of the program is high.

Result:
This program is ideal for a one-time remote connection or for using it for short periods of time. Convenient to use from mobile platforms, but not to administer a large number of computers. You will have to pay extra for additional modules.

LiteManager

A simple, but quite powerful program in terms of capabilities, consists of two parts, the first is Server, which needs to be installed or launched on a remote computer, and Viewer, which allows you to control another computer. To operate, the program requires a little more skills and experience from the manager, although working with the server is even simpler than in TeamViewer, the server can be installed once and no further actions are required from the user, the ID will always be constant, you can even set it yourself manually, which very convenient for memorization. The LiteManager Free version is free for personal and commercial use.

Advantages:
In addition to the main remote access modes: remote control, file transfer, chat, task manager, registry editor, the program also has unique functions, for example: inventory, screen recording, remote installation. The program is free for use on up to 30 computers, it can be used for round-the-clock access without any additional modules. There are no restrictions on operating time. It is possible to configure your own server ID to set up a corporate help desk. The program does not have any restrictions on operating time or blocking.

Flaws:
There is not enough client for mobile platforms or other systems, there is a limit of 30 computers in the free version, to administer more you need to purchase a license. Some specific operating modes are only available in the Pro version.

Result:
The Litemanager program is suitable for providing remote support, for administering several dozen computers absolutely free, for setting up your own remote support service. The cost of the program is the lowest in its segment and the license is not limited in time.

Ammy admin

The program is basically similar to TeamViewer, but a simpler option. There are only basic operating modes - viewing and control, file transfer, chat. The program can run without installation and is free for non-commercial use.

Advantages:
A simple and lightweight program, you can work both on the Internet and on a local network, has minimal settings and does not require any special skills. Compared to TeamViewer, the licensing policy is more lenient.

Flaws:
Minimum functions for remote management, it will be difficult to administer a large fleet of computers, with long-term use, more than 15 hours per month, the work session may be limited or blocked, paid for commercial use,

Result:
This program is more suitable for a one-time connection to a computer and not very complex manipulations, for example, to assist an inexperienced user in setting up a computer.

RAdmin

One of the first remote control programs and well-known in its circle, I could not help but mention it, more intended for system administration, the main emphasis is on security. The program consists of two: server and client components. Requires installation, it will not be easy for an inexperienced user to figure it out, the program is designed mainly to work using an IP address, which is not entirely convenient for providing technical support. Internet support. The program is paid, but has a free trial period.

Advantages:
The program has high operating speed, especially in a good network, thanks to the video driver for capturing the desktop, increased reliability and security. Intel AMT technology is built-in, which allows you to connect to the BIOS of a remote computer and configure it. Only the basic operating modes are implemented: remote control, file transfer, chat, etc.

Flaws:
There is almost no way to work without an IP address, i.e. connect by ID. There is no client for mobile systems. There is no free version, only a 30-day trial period. To work with the program, you need the skills of an experienced user. When connecting a video, the driver may disable the Aero graphical shell, sometimes the screen flickers.

Result:
The program is more suitable for system administrators for administering computers and servers on a local network. To work over the Internet, you may have to set up a VPN tunnel.

Since our site is designed for average users, some disagreements arose within the non-Oshibka.Ru team regarding the usefulness of this article. Typically, such material is intended for more experienced users who at least have a good knowledge of the Windows OS.

On the other hand, what should a novice user do who has only a vague idea of ​​what RDP, TCP, UDP are? But you really want to know? Again, is this necessary for the average user? Maybe one simple program is enough for him?

A difficult situation.

Explain in one article what remote access to a computer via the Internet is, but in such a way as not to frighten off the visitor.

We decided to experiment. Talk about difficult things as clearly as possible. We will take your comments into account.

What is this article about?

This article will tell you about two types of remote connection, briefly tell you what it is ID. Will tell you about the programs Remote access And Remote Desktop. We will also try to configure your computer in order to access it remotely without using third-party programs. Complex terms in the article are highlighted in brown and provided with explanations in the form of tooltips.

Remote access concept

Remote access to a computer via the Internet refers to operating system tools or a third-party program that allows you to gain visual or file access to a computer located at a remote distance, but still connected to the Internet.

How is the required computer identified on the Internet?

Conventionally, all remote access programs can be divided into two groups according to the type of connection:

• Using ID
• Using IP addresses And domain names

Remote access programs using ID

Of great interest are programs that use ID(unique identificator). Receipt method ID something like this: when a remote access program is launched on the computer to which you plan to connect, it sends a request to its server through which the connection will occur.

Having received this data, the server generates for the computer unique identification number — ID. This number is assigned to the computer. In the screenshot below it is highlighted in red.

Knowing this identification number and password, you can connect to a computer from anywhere in the world with this ID.

It remains unchanged until the hardware is replaced or the OS is reinstalled.

So using such programs is very convenient. When you change Internet provider, city, and even country, your computer ID Will not change.

Lack of programs using ID one - they are paid or shareware. Condition - you must not use the program for commercial purposes.

Example of programs using ID— TeamViewer, Ammy Admin. But the list is not limited to these two. They are simply the most popular and always heard by users.

We will not spend a lot of time on these programs, since their interface is simple and allows you to learn the program in 5-10 minutes. We may look at each of them in the future.

You won't have any problems with these programs. Use it for your health without overusing it. If TeamViewer will connect to a large number of ID- then sooner or later, the communication session will be limited to five minutes.

Remote access programs using an IP address or domain name

With this category everything is a little more complicated. They need a static IP address or domain name. Connection via IP address, this is a classic connection type. It does not allow as much flexibility in the location of the computer and is most often used in "office space".

In order to use it, you need to do the following.

Connecting a fixed IP address or domain.

You need to activate an additional service from your provider - Fixed IP address . This service is provided by many providers, including mobile ones. This service will assign your home network an external IP address in the format 123.123.123.123

It is this address that will allow you to find your computer from outside.

An alternative to a fixed IP address can be the service DynDNS. When registering, you will be given a custom domain, for example:

neoshibka.dyn.com

Next, you simply install a program on your computer that, when turned on, will track your current IP address and send it to the server DynDNS, which in turn will match your current dynamic ip address , with address yourlogin.dyn.com

Thus, no matter where you are, no matter what provider you use, no matter how often your IP address—the address of your computer—changes, yourlogin.dyn.com

We won’t undertake to say, but getting a fixed IP address from a provider is somewhat easier and cheaper than using DynDNS. For example, at the time of writing this article, the cost of a dedicated IP address was only 20 rubles. / month

Advertising

Opening a port to a target - a remote computer.

Even now, knowing our IP address or assigned to us DynDNS domain, we can hardly connect to the computer - the firewall will not let us through. Most likely the port 3389 used by the program Remote Desktop which we will tame in this article will be closed. For everything to work as it should, we will have to open it and redirect it to the desired computer on the network.

Difficult? Not at all. Let's try to figure it out in practice.

Remote access to a computer via the Internet using Remote Desktop

So, first what we did was get a fixed ip address from our ISP. Let's remember, write it down, draw it.

Second. Let's find out intranet IP address our computer. To do this, we will follow the following path: Network and Sharing Center => Local Area Connection => Details
As you can see in the screenshot, the address of our computer within the network 192.168.1.102

Third the point will be opening the port 3389 to the above address. To do this, let's go to the router. In our case it is ADSL modem TP-LINK. We will show everything using his example. There’s nothing you can do about it, but you can’t do without instructions if you don’t know how to configure the modem yourself.

In our case we enter through Google Chrome by the address 192.168.1.1 and under the combination admin/admin. We get to the information page.

Let's go to Advanced Setup => NAT => Virtual Servers and press the button (add).

Here you can choose ready-made services or create your own.

We will create our own and call it Udalenka, but the name can be absolutely anything. We register the local address of the computer, the one we spied earlier. In the table we enter the port everywhere 3389 and select the protocol TCP/UDP. We do all this based on a standard Windows application. Remote Desktop. For other programs, the ports may be different. A good list of applications and the ports they use is provided. (What we are learning may even be useful for games).

If, for example, you want to use Remote Desktop, and advanced RAdmin, then you will have to register a different port for it: 4899 .

Press the button to save.

Item fourth, we will run on the computer we are going to control - Terminal Server Service. It’s worth clarifying something here.

Using the method described below is not recommended from the point of view of licensing purity if you do this in the organization where you work. Not sure about Windows 10, but in Windows XP - 7, the license was not violated if only one user connected to the computer.

We do all this for the purpose of familiarization and in order to learn the principles of remote access to a computer via the Internet.

So, to run it on your computer Terminal Server Service. In Windows XP this was done simply - Go to Administration — Services and applications — Services found it and simply turned it on. This allowed one user to connect to the computer. In this case, the user who was sitting locally was disconnected.

In Windows 10 we need to do things a little differently. We need a special patch. You can download it from here. This patch will allow you to run on the system Windows 10 terminal service.

Recently, the search engines Google and Yandex began to consider this file as a virus threat. In fact, the file lay on the site for two years, and not a single scanner ever considered it to be malware. However, the file is now stored outside of notOshibka.Ru - you download it at your own peril and risk.

Let's unpack the downloaded file to any location. For example on Desktop. Run as Administrator file install.bat

A successful result will be indicated by a black command line window with the following content:

Fifth In this paragraph, we will set a password for our user, and also add him to the group.

For this purpose on the icon Computer and right-click to select Control.

In the window that opens, on the left side, we need to expand the list Local users and groups, select sub-item Users.

In the list of users, you need to find yourself and right-click.

Enter your password twice, press and the system will confirm that the password has been set.

Now we need to add our user to the group Remote Desktop Users.

To do this:

Right click on the user − Properties.

In the window that opens, go to the tab Group Membership and press the button <Добавить…>

Next, do everything in the same order as in the screenshot:

As a result of the work done - Remote Desktop Users should appear in the general list of groups to which the user belongs.

We would like to draw your attention to the following. The above describes how to assign a password to your user. But it’s better to create a new one and add it to the groups. Otherwise, you may end up losing some data. For example, we logged out wherever possible. I had to enter all the passwords again.

Let's check if we were able to gain remote access to the computer via the Internet using Remote Desktop.

We go to another computer, go to START menu => All programs => Accessories and run the program "Remote Desktop Connection".

Enter the IP address previously assigned to us by the provider into the window that appears, click the button <Подключить> .

If we did everything we did earlier correctly, then we will be asked almost immediately Name And Password user on Remote machine. Enter them and don't forget to check the box to remember your credentials.

And the last “security touch” will be checking the Remote Machine certificate. Here, too, you need to agree with everything. And also check the box.

That's all. If everything works as it should, you can go through the Remote Desktop program settings. Here you can turn on/off the sound, change the picture quality, connect local resources to the remote machine.
