Port forwarding alternative

Hi,

Wouldn't it be nice to have an alternative to port forwarding?

I remembered this today, when I had to hard reset my ISP router, and totally forgot to reopen the ports to bOS and found myself with no access on mobile network. So no bOS, no Alexa commands to bOS etc.

In fact, there are many services that are using "P2P" services, using mechanisms to get rid of the port forwarding stuff.

The reality is that we are often hard resetting the ISP routers. Sometimes by ourselves, other times because of automatic firmware updates from the ISP. And many times we forget the port forwarding stuff.

What do you think?

Best regards

Hello Oscar,

P2P isn't available, but we do have gateway access option, which we can enable for you and you can access your server remotely without the need of port forwarding.

For more info and activation, please contact flavio.c.sanches@comfortclick.com.

Best regards.

Hello,

gateway access to your bOS Servers (without any ports forwarded) is being developed by us.

Currently it's in testing stages and we're activating it to our testing users so they can connect remotely to their servers more safe, this feature will be available to everyone in the future when we have it 100% working.

any updates ?
