335335* **One remote session per interactive process**: outside of server mode, each Claude Code instance supports one remote session at a time. Use [server mode](#start-a-remote-control-session) to run multiple concurrent sessions from a single process.
336* **Local process must keep running**: Remote Control runs as a local process. If you close the terminal, quit the Desktop app or VS Code, or otherwise stop the `claude` process, the session goes offline until you [bring it back](#resume-sessions-after-stopping-the-server). If you run `claude` from a terminal on a remote machine, start it inside `tmux` or `screen` to keep the session running after you disconnect from SSH.
336* **Local process must keep running**: Remote Control runs as a local process. If you close the terminal, quit the Desktop app or VS Code that runs the session on your machine, or otherwise stop the `claude` process, the session goes offline until you [bring it back](#resume-sessions-after-stopping-the-server). If you run `claude` from a terminal on a remote machine, start it inside `tmux` or `screen` to keep the session running after you disconnect from SSH.
337337* **Crashed sessions in server mode**: if a session served by `claude remote-control` crashes, send it a message from a connected device. Claude Code serves it again. You don't have to restart the server. Requires Claude Code v2.1.238 or later.
338338* **HTTP 403 refusals on a connected session**: once an interactive session is connected, Claude Code keeps retrying for up to three minutes when something between your machine and Anthropic's servers answers with HTTP 403, as can happen after a VPN or network change. If the refusals last longer, Claude Code disconnects, and the reason names what refused: a network edge, or a proxy, VPN, or firewall on your own network.
339339* **Extended network outage**: if your machine is awake but can't reach the network, what you do next depends on the mode:
