E-Stim Connect is the software that allows you to connect an E-Stim Systems 2B to our E-Stim Connect Server, and thus allow a remote partner to control your 2B over the Internet.
Although E-Stim Connect has been developed and tested on on Windows 10, it has been tested on Windows 7, and should work on Windows 8 and 8.1. We also offer support for E-Stim Connect on a Mac and offer E-Stim Connect for Linux, although the Linux version is not actively supported at this time.
