IAP Desktop is a Windows application that allows you to manage multiple Remote Desktop connections to Windows VM instances that run on Google Cloud.

To increase security and flexibility, IAP Desktop uses Identity-Aware-Proxy TCP tunneling to connect to VM instance, combining the convenience of a Remote Desktop connection manager with the advantages of Identity-Aware-Proxy:

• You can connect from anywhere, not only from selected networks
• You can connect to VM instances that not expose RDP publicly or do not have a public IP address
• You can exert fine-grained control which users and which devices should be allowed to access which VM instances
