Imagine managing few hundreds or thousands of Raspberry Pi devices out in the field or at your customer site. How would you configure, setup, access or even debug them from remote locations?

How would you get quick access to your Raspberry Pi remotely over Internet to debug or re-configure your remote device?

SocketXP provides a turnkey IoT solution to quickly and securely access your Raspberry Pi remotely over Internet using SSH. SocketXP solution could bring up hundreds or thousands of Raspberry Pi devices online for remote SSH access via secure tunneling in less than a minute(limited only by your ability to copy paste a command).

Not just that, it is highly secure (uses secure SSL/TLS tunneling — a lightweight VPN alternative solution)

Just 2 simple steps.

Step #1

Single-Touch Agent Installation Script

Sign up at https://portal.socketxp.com for free and copy a single command from the SocketXP Portal Page as shown above.

Note: The above command has a unique auth-token assigned just for you and your devices.

Paste the above command on to your Raspberry Pi device terminal. Paste this command on as many number of devices as you want to bring up for remote connectivity. Just one command for all your Raspberry Pi devices.

Step #2

Check if your devices are up and connected on the SocketXP portal page as shown below.

Click the terminal icon next to your RPi device.

Provide your RPi SSH credentials in the next screen.

Boom… and there you are, now inside your RPi SSH shell. Now type any command in the shell. Say for example “htop”.

How hard was this? Easy-Peasy isn’t it?

Let me know what you think about this single-touch installation and our SocketXP Raspberry Pi remote SSH connectivity solution in general.

BTW, did I say that it’s completely free for adding upto 2 RPi devices?

Got 3 or more devices? SocketXP service is just 50 Cents per device for one full month of remote connectivity and backed by a 14-day money back guarantee. No questions asked for a refund !!
