# Introduction

- [Remote.It Overview](https://docs.remote.it/introduction/readme.md): Remote.It makes secure remote connections between devices without open ports or port forwarding, crossing NATs and firewalls over SSH, VNC, RDP, HTTP/S and more.
- [Get Started](https://docs.remote.it/introduction/get-started.md): Create a Remote.It account, install the Desktop app or CLI on your target device, and make your first secure connection — no port forwarding required.
- [Platforms & Packages](https://docs.remote.it/introduction/get-started/platforms-and-packages.md): Compare the Remote.It Device Package, CLI and Desktop app across Linux, Raspberry Pi, Mac, Windows, OpenWrt, Synology, NVIDIA Jetson and more.
- [Remote Access Over Starlink](https://docs.remote.it/introduction/get-started/starlink.md): Reach cameras, DVRs, NAS boxes and PCs behind a Starlink connection. Starlink uses CGNAT, so port forwarding can't work — Remote.It gets you in without it.
- [Use Cases](https://docs.remote.it/introduction/get-started/use-cases.md): How Remote.It is used in industrial automation, cloud infrastructure, and cellular or Starlink deployments — including real bandwidth consumption figures.
- [Glossary of Terms](https://docs.remote.it/introduction/glossary-of-terms.md): Definitions of core Remote.It concepts — target and initiator devices, services, the Service Agent, organizations, licensing, and connection types.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.remote.it/introduction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
