Versions:
VirtualHere USB Client 5.9.6, published by VirtualHere Pty. Ltd., is a lightweight network-utility application that turns remote USB peripherals into locally accessible devices. Designed for Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, the client connects to any VirtualHere USB Server on the LAN or WAN and enumerates shared peripherals in an expandable tree; a simple right-click → “Use” binds the chosen device to the local system so that drivers and applications treat it as physically attached. Typical scenarios include accessing a scanner in a branch office from headquarters, running licence dongles inside VMs that have no physical ports, sharing 3-D printers among classroom laptops, or letting teleworkers connect to lab instruments without VPN tunneling. Because the entire USB descriptor is forwarded, specialty hardware such as telescopes, CNC mills, medical pumps, card readers or audio interfaces operate with their original vendor software and no latency-inducing middle layer. The client is purpose-built for zero configuration: it multicasts for servers, auto-reconnects after sleep or network changes, and coexists with Windows’ built-in USB stack so no driver installation is required on the host side. Two major versions—2.x and the current 5.x branch—remain maintained; the latter adds TLS encryption, device aliases, per-user access lists and IPv6 discovery while still supporting legacy servers. VirtualHere USB Client is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are supplied through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest build and enabling batch installation alongside other applications.
