Android Device Manager can manage devices connected to another computer running device manager. Both computers need to be running the latest version of Device Manager. See this page for installation instructions.
If both computers are on different networks, you’ll need some way to make both computers talk to each other across the Internet.
I’ve tested with free ngrok and TailScale services
- Install Tailscale on both computers and login with the same account.
- The server can be started from within the app. Click on the SERVER toolbar button and select "Start Server".
- Click on Start Server button to start the server
- Click Copy Connection String button
- If you have a Tailscale network running, select the IP address or hostname of the Tailscale network. This is how the client will reach the server.
- Connect to a server using the Connect toolbar button -> "Connect to Server"
- You can manually connect to a server using the IP/port/auth token. Or, if you were able to use the "Copy Connection String" button above, hit "Paste Connection" and the details will be filled in automatically.
