Deprecation of TLS 1.0/1.1 Support – Required Updates for Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and Server Systems

As part of Splashtop’s security enhancements, we will be retiring support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 at the end of September 2025. TLS 1.0/1.1 use outdated encryption methods that lack crucial protections and are vulnerable to attacks.

To ensure your remote connections continue to work after this change, please review the below requirements.


1. Older Operating Systems No Longer Supported

Connections from the following operating systems will stop working after TLS 1.0/1.1 retirement:


2. Endpoints That Require an Update

For the following operating systems, TLS 1.2 (or higher) will still be supported, but Splashtop software must be updated to continue functioning:

  • Windows 7
  • Windows 8, 8.1
  • Windows Server 2008 R2
  • Windows Server 2012 R1/R2

Action Needed

  • Splashtop Streamer: Update to version 3.7.4.x or newer
  • Splashtop Business App: Update to version 3.7.4.x or newer

If your endpoints are not updated, Splashtop connections may fail once TLS 1.0/1.1 is retired.


3. Alternative options for older operating systems

  1. Splashtop Enterprise with Connector
    (Requires installing a Connector agent on the same network as the older operating systems)

  2. Splashtop On-prem service
    (Requires installing a gateway agent)
