I wonder if it allows multiple clients to remotely SSH into a Raspberry Pi registered under a single account. By the way, I appreciate the effort the Raspberry Pi Foundation puts into providing great software tools to its users
It is more likely intended to personal usage but maybe in future they might make some enterprise option since it is still on beta
Ok, you mean at the moment only one client can connect from the browser to RPi.
I was thinking abt how it'll be useful for teaching the masses w/o actual hardware
I haven’t tried with multiple computers with my personal account
I will let you know after trying
the amount of safety it provides that indicates it wasn’t meant to be shared
if they don’t track the session maybe we can create multiple
Sure, I understand security aspect
that’s why maybe they can have enterprise option but not sure yet
it is in beta since quite long time
yes, i just found out the post dated back in July 2024. Lets see how it evolves
but it is really helpful in the past I used to forward my port and then access it via SSH
which is less secured and need to take a static ip from ISP sometimes I had to pay additionally for that
Got the point, no doubt of its usefulness
