Remote.it Reviews and details

Questions & Answers

1. What makes Remote.it unique?

   Remote.It creates virtual zero trust networks. Unlike VPN networks which create a network tunnel to a specific subnet range and require manual IT management of access and provisioning to each resource in the IP range, Remote.It zero trust network allow DevOps and IT teams to create virtual collections of endpoints and users. By tagging users and resources can automatically be configured as resources are brought up and taken down, such as Docker containers or onboarding new employees.

   Unlike subnet based VPN solutions, Remote.It zero trust networks enable simultaneous access to as many different physical networks for both users and endpoints. Remote.It eliminates the complexity associated with subnet address collisions, floating IP address from distributed or remote workforces, and other complex IT challenges.

2. Why should a person choose Remote.it over its competitors?

   Remote.It connects users and devices when other solutions cannot.

   Remote.It eliminates spending time planning, maintaining, and resolving IP address, subnet, routing table, VLAN tags, and more.

   Remote.It enables zero trust network access and eliminates external attack surfaces

3. How would you describe your primary audience?

   Developers, IT admins, DevOps. Anyone who is tired of manual network configuration associated with VPNs. Especially when connecting to Docker or Cloud environments.

4. What's the story behind Remote.it?

   Reinventing networking. We believe in securely connecting everything by enabling users to build private networks within the internet only they can see. We provide zero-trust IT/OT network connectivity as a service.

• How can I bypass CGNAT

  Try remote.it its free for personal usage and I use it to access my linux, windows and docker via RDP. Source: 11 months ago

• Personal Use more than one device?

  I tried to deploy remote.it on two of my docker hosts. the pricing plan on the website says personal use is 5 devices. The first device was able to register but then there is a banner that says 'anything more than one device requires a commercial plan. Am I limited to only one device? if so, please update the website to remove confusion. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is there a "main hub" out there?

  I mean remote.it would basically be it, right? Seeing as that accounts for all the pipework? Source: over 1 year ago

• Port forwarding solutions

  Solutions like remote.it support both (1), via public URIs connecting to individual services, and (2) by having cients that run remote.it locally. The latter permits such a client to bypass the tunnel entirely if it is on the same network as the server or, apparently, via a peer-to-peer connection rather than an internet proxy (the tunnel).

• Port forwarding solutions

  Step (2) puts remote.it into the same class as most of the other suggested solutions (at least the ones I understand) - the client (internet) end of the tunnel has to have a special purpose program running to route traffic to the tunnel. Source: over 1 year ago

• Port forwarding solutions

  When I wanted to set up remote.it behind Starlink, these are the instructions I was sent (in case this is useful information to someone else). Source: over 1 year ago

• Port forwarding solutions

  Remote.it I've spent 2 days trying to get this to work (permanent URI, reliable port forwarding of HTTPS) and have not been able to achieve either. Source: over 1 year ago

• IPv6

  Remote.it should solve this problem but seems hopelessly broken. In particular the data feed to NightScout comes from an app (AndroidAPS) on my own cellphone and that insists on having an https:// connection with a valid certificate. I managed to get this set up with remote.it but the connection (through StarLink) reported "poll" errors and the remote.it URI only lasts for 8 hours. Source: over 1 year ago

• IPv6

  I just spent over a day trying to get remote.it to work; it turns out that while it does port forwarding without needing the full weight of a VPN the public URIs it generates don't last very long and the "beta" persistent URI feature is currently totally broken. Source: over 1 year ago

• Wireguard + remote.it desktop client

  Well damn, I picked remote.it from some tutorial ages ago. I'm noob with wireguard, I'll look into Tailscale. I guess in the question I should have said rather "a solution" than "good choice". Source: over 1 year ago

• Wireguard + remote.it desktop client

  Also never heard of remote.it, tailscale is something A LOT of people talk about using, but I have personally not used it. Source: over 1 year ago

• Wireguard + remote.it desktop client

  I want to vpn into my raspi without port forwarding, so remote.it seems like a good choice. I manage to make the connection when I start the wireguard from remote.it web ui, but just can't figure out how to connect succesfully from desktop client (win 10). Based on the wireguard log:.

  I've been liking remote.it. SSH + XRDP work great over that. Source: over 1 year ago

• tunneling server traffic instead of port forwarding

  But I am self-hosting some services on my own hardware. Atm im setting a static ip and port forwarding to a reverse proxy. I was using remote.it and while that service works well, its kind of cumbersome to have to install the app on every single device or walk normies through the process. Source: over 1 year ago

• Making a Minecraft Server using Starlink

  Something from remote.it came up while I was searching for solutions, is that possibly one of the so called special VPN you're talking about? Thanks! Source: almost 2 years ago

• Access local ip outside of network

  Hey guys, I'm completely new to the self hosting world, so sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm having loads of trouble with reverse proxying to a Rpi 4. The pi is plugged into my router via ethernet, and has a few services running on it that I want to be able to access while I'm at work. I've tried zerotier, cloudflare tunnels, Nginx proxy, remote.it, and I always run into the same issue. I can access it on... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Remote SSH connection (over the internet) without port forwarding

  I want to connect to an SSH server (Ubuntu machine) without opening a port on my router (because I can't). I tested remote.it, it worked well, but I'm concerned about the privacy and security aspect. Are there any open source alternatives to remote.it ? What are the privacy and security risks that I'm exposed to? Source: almost 2 years ago

• Unable to access to services in a docker container with VPN

  This problem drive me crazy because also with remote.it I can access to these 2 services on Docker. Furthermore, I've also tried to sniff packages to understand whether the request comes to RPI or not but unfortunately all packets are under ZeroTier port (9993). Source: almost 2 years ago

• Can I get an ELI5 on how to obtain a static IP and port forward a game server I'm trying to host?

  I also found this product remote.it (https://www.remote.it/resources/how-to-port-forward-on-starlink) Is this able to achieve what I want? Source: almost 2 years ago

• How do i use remote.it on one machine to route you to another?

  I assume that both raspberry pis are on the same LAN, correct? If so, you can use install remote.it on either pi or on an openWRT router and then use that as a bastion host (jump host) to define and then provide access to any TCP reachable service on the network without exposing anything on the network. You can see documentation for this here: https://link.remote.it/support/jumpbox Let us know if this didn't... Source: almost 2 years ago
