Here is a Blue Post with some clarification that using software like this might run afoul of the EULA:

@Vrakthris

I can’t say for certain, Yindar. We’re not legal experts or really able to discuss the EULA to any great detail. While there isn’t anything specific that calls out Remote Desktop in there, it is entirely possible that “or any software or service designed to enable the unauthorized streaming or transmission of Game content from a third-party server to any device.” could cover that. You are right, it is unsupported, but I can’t say with absolute certainty if it would result in account action. My advice is generally, if it sounds a little sketchy, it is often best to avoid it.

Basically, you aren’t going to get a “Yes” or “No” answer as there are too many variables to consider. The advice given in the past was simply to not do it.

@Vrakthris

Thank you for this. I wish Blizzard would give hard “yes” or “no” answers with this though. “it might be a bad idea” is vague lol. It might be a good idea too, then.

Generally speaking, if we took the time to state that it might be a bad idea, it is rarely a good one.

@Vrakthris

I believe it might have been Vrak (he can correct me if I’m wrong) who suggested against using such software as it may still violate the essence of the cloud computing rule.

It was. Based on what I understand of those rules I would still highly recommend against such behavior.

@Perl-anetheron

Despite how streaming your game from your computer to another device works, it’s still recommended against. That hasn’t changed since this thread was originally active.

And while it may not take a third-party server to play remotely, it absolutely takes a third-party software which could violate the EULA.
