Interesting, I have a few thoughts. Perhaps you could sell a preconfigured pfsense box (or make a raspberry pi image to start with) that when plugged into the customers router creates a reverse tunnel via your service as well as a WiFi hotspot. Then offer the user a very simple firewall control panel and they can choose what devices to allow to the open internet and what to keep private and accessible via some sort of authenticated channel. Thus devices that contain sensitive data or require enhanced security (cameras, private network attached storage devices, home automation) and devices that require internet access (Amazon Echo) can both be served by the service. Very nice service by the way. I have used ngrok in the past and found it invaluable for a few odd applications. I'll give it a try in future. |

Thank you for the feedback and the suggestion. It is a good idea actually. I'm considering new features in the roadmap, because at the moment I don't even offer Internet access through my system, it's just a private LAN (I'm not competing with the myriad of privacy-minded browsing VPNs out there). Adding a manageable Internet Gateway could be a nice option.
Developing and deploying a software+hardware piece would be very interesting too, so there's no need to deploy agents on the remote servers or IOT devices (on most of them you probably can't) and I take the hassle out of my customer's hands to setup a e.g. Linux gateway to route traffic through the tunnel.
