If you need to create a secure connection, the app is able to use a SOCKS or HTTP proxy server. By default, it uses AES encryption for SSH connections but also offers Blowfish and 3DES encryption algorithms.

The interface of application is easy to understand and provides quick access to all the parameters for the current session, terminal window and connection. You have the option to customize the terminal window by specifying its name, behavior and color.

The program includes the option to run in the background in order to quickly start a session or minimize the terminal windows. The terminal window supports hyperlinks and enables you to open a link by specifying the Internet browser in the Options window.

To save time, the application includes the option to automatically execute a set of commands when you connect to the server. You can specify a single command or load a script from an external file.
