Frequently asked questions
AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
What does windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor help diagnose?
windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor helps you troubleshoot connection problems with Windows App, Azure Virtual Desktop, and direct PC connections on macOS. It guides you through identifying whether your connection is using optimal UDP Shortpath or falling back to slower WebSocket transport, checks for VPN or proxy interference, and parses Windows App logs to uncover auth failures or protocol negotiation issues.
Why is my Azure Virtual Desktop slow and UDP Shortpath not working?
windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor can help you diagnose why Azure Virtual Desktop or direct PC connection is slow or stuck. Common causes include VPN or proxy blocking UDP Shortpath and forcing WebSocket fallback, which is slower. The skill helps you determine if your network configuration is preventing optimal transport negotiation and suggests remediation steps.
How do I fix Windows App frozen at 'Configuring remote PC'?
windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor resolves Windows App frozen at 'Configuring remote PC' by identifying underlying auth or server issues. The skill analyzes Windows App logs to detect transport negotiation failures, certificate validation errors, and connection timeouts that cause the progress dialog to hang.
Can windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor detect VPN/proxy blocking?
Yes. windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor determines if VPN or proxy is blocking UDP Shortpath and forcing WebSocket fallback. It helps you verify whether your network configuration allows direct UDP transport or if you're being forced to use slower WebSocket as a fallback protocol.
How does windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor analyze connection logs?
windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor analyzes Windows App logs to identify transport negotiation and connection failures. It parses protocol selection decisions, auth attempts, and server responses to distinguish client-side problems from server-side issues and pinpoint the root cause of your connection problem.
What transport protocols does windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor check?
windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor verifies RDP server health and checks both UDP Shortpath (optimal) and WebSocket (fallback) transport protocols. It helps you understand which protocol your connection is using, why it may have fallen back, and whether your RDP server is reachable and healthy.

This skill guides you through pivoting and tunneling strategies to reach internal networks from a compromised host during authorized penetration tests. It covers SSH port forwarding, SOCKS proxies, and specialized tools like Chisel, Ligolo-ng, and sshuttle, with a decision tree to select the right approach based on available access and network constraints.
This skill applies falsification-first methodology to network and streaming incidents where the obvious cause is likely a red herring. Rather than stacking assumptions, it guides you through layered isolation—testing the same request across different paths to pinpoint exactly which hop (client, CDN, proxy, or backend) is responsible. Use it for connection resets, SSE stalls, fixed-time drops, certificate errors, or LAN mysteries where symptoms like "works sometimes" or "fails after N seconds" point to multiple possible layers.
Rustunnel lets you create public tunnels for local services across HTTP, TCP, UDP, and peer-to-peer protocols. Use it to test webhooks, share development environments, access databases remotely, or run load-balanced pools—all controlled through MCP tools that integrate with Claude Code and other AI agents.
This skill runs evidence-first network diagnostics and optimization on macOS, starting with read-only measurements of speed, latency, jitter, and DNS performance. It protects VPN and proxy services by default, proposing only reversible changes like DNS A/B tests, service reordering, or AWDL toggling before applying them. Use it to identify bottlenecks in link quality, bufferbloat, DNS instability, or background traffic, then verify improvements with before-and-after measurements.
Network Doctor guides you through systematic network diagnostics without risky guesswork. It establishes baseline measurements first, isolates root causes across ISP, Wi-Fi, DNS, MTU, proxy, and background processes, then proposes only reversible fixes with before-and-after verification.
EdgeSecurityAccess is a WireGuard-based VPN suite comprising a Go server, C/C++ utility tools, and Windows desktop client. It exposes an HTTP API for credential-based WireGuard configuration retrieval and supports full user lifecycle management on Linux systems.
