- Forget about clumsy VPN routors: Jumpbox pocket tool promises promises the remote access encrypted in seconds
- The VPNs are fragile, says Remote.it-the plug-And-play approach can solve that
- Jumpbox offers centralized remote access without exposing public internet devices
SAAS Network Firm Remote.it has introduced a new hardware -based alternative to traditional commercial VPN tools.
Developed in collaboration with the connectivity firm IoT IncreddDed Works, Jumpbox aims to reduce the dependence of the VPN by offering remote Plug-And-Play access without the need for manual network configuration.
“The VPNs are fragile and limited,” said Remote.it Ceo Ryo Koyama, “each final point can only connect to one VPN at the same time (or it has to embed a series of VPN so that several networks can communicate). But that makes the entire network depend even more on a series of configurations that are correct and updated.”
Conventional VPN challenges
Koyama argues that Jumpbox offers a more stable and centralized alternative, allowing administrators to monitor and manage multiple networks simultaneously.
“The Jumpbox is designed as a connection always there that does not have the same weak points as VPNs,” he said. “With Jumpbox, an administrator could be monitoring, updating, solving multiple network connections at the same time,”
Despite this statement, the broader market has not completely abandoned the VPNs, with many companies investing in the best VPN router for greater control and flexibility.
The remote approach depends on the replacement with a zero configuration configuration that works outside the box, with 2 USB 2.0 ports, 2 USB 3.0 ports, 1 Gigabit Ethernet port, 1 HDMI and a 3.5 mm audio connector, all fed by a 1.8 GHz CPU and support for Wi-Fi 6, 5G, Bluetooth, a 64GB MicroSD.
Jumpbox is preloaded with Remote.it software and offers encrypted access through cellular networks, which makes it particularly attractive to companies that manage devices in scattered sites.
Although Remote.it has not explicitly marked Jumpbox as a ZTNA solution, it offers centralized control, encrypted tunnels and out -of -band management capabilities such as many similar services, as well as the ability to access devices without exposing them to the public internet, an important principle in Zero Trust Frameworks.
“There are a lot of devices connected to the Internet and IoT that have no remote administration system,” said Andy Do, president of integrated works, “and for those who do it, it is generally very expensive to buy an annual license per device.”
This device, currently available on Amazon for $ 99.99, comes with a one -year remote business plan and also offers access to unlimited devices and technical support.
