How to Remotely Manage Raspberry Pis or IoT devices from the Internet

The Internet of Things connects people and things remotely, while simultaneously connecting things to things. The number of connected systems can reach billions. Tracking and managing your IoT devices is critical to keeping your business growing and secure. This is where remote IoT device management comes in. The RemoteIoT platform helps companies securely manage Raspberry Pis or IoT devices at scale from internet. Users can monitor device sensor readings, system and network performance, hardware health, and proactively resolve issues. Using the RemoteIoT secure channel, you can send commands remotely through your browser to control your device, such as adjusting environment variables, etc. At the same time, RemoteIoT also supports remote ssh and vnc login.

IoT device management is a series of processes including the provisioning, verification, configuration, monitoring and analysis of connected devices in an IoT environment, designed to provide and support their range of functions. This is why an effective and secure IoT device management solution is highly recommended to connect multiple Raspberry Pis or IoT devices.

One of the biggest challenges in IoT device management is cybersecurity as it involves technical information. Cybersecurity is not only concerned with vulnerabilities or weaknesses in data connections, but everything related to hardware. RemoteIoT uses the secure AWS IoT cloud platform to connect to connected devices from anywhere. RemoteIoT provides a security mechanism for encrypting and encapsulating private network traffic and moving it through intermediate networks. Data is encrypted for confidentiality and wrapped with an IP header containing routing information.

RemoteIoT tunnel is the same as PPTP VPN. The two endpoints of the tunnel must agree to the tunnel and must negotiate configuration variables, such as address assignment, encryption or compression parameters. In most cases, the data being tunneled is sent using a datagram-based protocol. The RemoteIoT Tunnel Management Protocol is used as a mechanism for creating, maintaining and terminating tunnels.

Conclusion

IoT system is a complex environment with a vast array of devices, clouds, connections, sensors, data, and more. In this case, dealing with the ever-increasing demands and network add-ons becomes a huge challenge. The RemoteIoT device management platform has built-in many device management and monitoring tools, allowing companies to focus on their core expertise, easily deploy devices on a large scale and effectively reduce costs.
