Info needed about the software
Dear all,
I have a question. Lets imagine the situation that there are 2 devices (#1 and #2) connected through the same wi-fi router. #1 has a teamviewer, the #2 is a phone without teamviewer. Third device (#3) is connected to the #1 through the teamviewer. If there is any activity at the device #2 like browsing the websites or messaging, will the information from this device be send through the wi-fi router to the #3 which is connected to the #1 through remote control. Like links or pages. Because #1 and #2 are connected through the same wi-fi router.

Hello @Katses,
Welcome to the TeamViewer community.
The quick answer to your question is no, TeamViewer does not do that.
The long/detailed answer however,... TeamViewer doesn't have anything to do with packet sniffing (picking up network traffic). TeamViewer is not directly going to provide the functionality to pick up what websites and data is going to/from device #2 in your example. However, if a hacker was on device #3 remoted into device #1 with device #2 on the same network, regardless of what remote tool they are using, yes there is the ability to pick up what websites you are visiting and any unsecured traffic can also be picked up relatively easily for an experienced hacker.
This should not at all deter you from using TeamViewer, because that's just how networking works, it's not at all TeamViewer's fault.
I hope this answers your question. Feel free to ask if you would like more details.
-Cheers!
