A step-by-step walkthrough of setting up and joining an encrypted Secure Channel on the LanChGo Windows app.
When you open the app this is the first screen you see. Choose your network interface — all connected devices should be on the same network.
This is the main screen where you can send messages, clear the chatbox, and view the network state in the upper-left corner.
Flip the switch to create or join a secure channel. A popup will appear asking if you want to create a new one or join an existing one with a PIN.
When you create a new secure channel, you'll get a random 8-digit PIN — your connection key. You can show, regenerate, or disconnect it anytime.
To join an existing secure channel, flip the switch, enter the PIN, and click connect — you'll be linked automatically.
After joining, you'll receive a confirmation message with sound feedback. You won't be able to view the channel's PIN for security reasons.
Clicking Show PIN displays the channel PIN along with a QR Code that you can scan to connect an Android device directly.
