# Cloud Relay

Select the *Enable On Demand Deep Freeze Cloud Relay* to manage computers on your network using the Cloud Relay. If you clear the *Enable On Demand Deep Freeze Cloud Relay* checkbox, the Cloud Relay will be disabled and Deep Freeze Cloud Console will communicate directly with the Cloud Agent.

{% hint style="info" %}
It is not mandatory to select the *Enable On Demand Deep Freeze Cloud Relay* checkbox. Most of the Deep Freeze actions can be performed through Live Actions. For more information go to [Live Actions](/deep-freeze-cloud/using-deep-freeze-cloud-console/computers/live-actions.md).
{% endhint %}

The On Demand Cloud Relay allows the Deep Freeze Cloud Console to perform real time actions on your computers. Install the On Demand Cloud Relay on the same subnet as the computers you want to manage. The Cloud Relays page displays the list of Cloud Relays installed on your network.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are using Deep Freeze Enterprise Console, the Cloud Relay is not required to manage computers. Therefore, the Cloud Relay is unavailable to Deep Freeze Enterprise Console users.
{% endhint %}
