Raspberry Pi Remote Access. Securely Connect to Your Pi, Anywhere
SocketXP gives you instant, secure remote access to any Raspberry Pi behind NAT routers, firewalls, cellular networks, and CGNAT — via SSH, VNC, RDP, or browser. No VPN. No port-forwarding. No on-site visits.
What is Raspberry Pi Remote Access And Control?
Raspberry Pi remote access and control refers to the ability to access and control a Raspberry Pi, located behind a NAT router or firewall, from a remote computer or device over the internet. This can be done using SSH, VNC, RDP, or a web browser. SocketXP uses SSL/TLS reverse proxy tunnels to securely remote access Raspberry Pi devices behind NAT routers, firewalls, cellular networks, and CGNAT — without port forwarding.
