[deep cinematic voice] It has been a long time since IoT devices entered this world, and faced… immediate segregation. Inherent resource constraints and weak security posture did not allow them to be exposed to Internet threats and eventually turned them into a weapon in denial-of-service attacks. As a result they become segregated into purposely-made VLANs with restrictive firewall rules and no way to communicate with anyone outside. Now it is time to end this misery and bring them to their new home — Staex public network! [end of deep cinematic voice] Seriously though, we created this network because we thought it would be fun to access IoT devices by their name without going through the trouble of configuring DNS, port forwarding and a VPN. Below is a list of features and use cases that might be of interest to you. Some features. ✅ Staex hides devices’ real IP addresses, ✅ prohibits any external network traffic unless specified otherwise, ✅ makes any IP-based devices (smart lights, IP cameras, low-end routers, smart TVs, EV chargers, drones etc.) directly accessible by their public key or DNS name, and ✅ provides mandatory end-to-end encryption and certificate-based trust. Some use cases. ⭐ Staex will configure VPN, DNS, DNAT, port forwarding and SSL for you. ⭐ Access your devices directly by typing their public key or DNS name of your choice. ⭐ Seamlessly connect devices from different local area networks. ⭐ Securely share your devices over the Staex public network with your peers from anywhere in the world. Staex public network is an experiment to use zero-trust network as a backbone of the Internet of Things. It is free for businesses and personal use. 📣 Please check it out and let us know what you think! ❗ Currently devices can only be accessed through a Linux-based host — a router or a computer. If your router can not run Staex, you could install it on a single-board computer (e.g. Raspberry Pi). Then you would be able to access your devices from Linux or Mac!
