Remote devices are everywhere — in warehouses, retail stores, customer basements, construction sites. The problem is always the same: you need access, but the device sits behind a firewall, a NAT, or a network you do not control.
ProxyPass solves this with a simple principle. Instead of opening ports or configuring VPNs on the remote side, you install a lightweight node on the target machine. That node makes a single outbound TCP connection to the ProxyPass cloud. Once connected, you can reach the device as if you were sitting in front of it.
There is no inbound traffic to the remote network. No firewall rules to change. No VPN client to install on the customer side. The node connects outward, and that is all the remote network ever sees — a standard outbound HTTPS connection.
Three Access Modes, One Node
ProxyPass supports three distinct access modes through a single node:
- CONNECT proxy mode — tunnel any TCP protocol (SSH, RDP, database connections, SFTP) through the encrypted tunnel
- REST Bridge — send API calls to HTTP devices inside the remote LAN, like IoT gateways or smart relays, without configuring a proxy on your end
- File Mount mode — expose a remote directory as a full WebDAV endpoint — browse, download, upload, delete, and manage files on production servers without running additional software on the remote machine
Deployment in Under Two Minutes
Every node runs as a Docker container on Linux or as a native Windows service. Installation takes a single command and under two minutes. Once deployed, the node auto-reconnects if the connection drops and can be updated remotely — no SSH access required.
What This Looks Like in Practice
Imagine you operate a network of 50 digital signage players across shopping centers. It is 10 PM and a player at a mall in Hamburg freezes — the screen goes black. Without ProxyPass, you would call the mall security, try to explain the problem over the phone, and eventually dispatch a technician the next morning.
With ProxyPass, you open your dashboard, see that the node is still online, and restart the player's operating system with one click. Thirty seconds later, the screen is back. No phone call. No technician. No cost. You handled it from your couch.
That is what ProxyPass does. It gives you instant, secure access to devices you cannot physically reach — whether it is 10 PM or 3 AM, whether the device is in the next building or in another country.
Privacy and EU Hosting
The entire infrastructure runs on servers in Germany. There is no traffic logging, no request inspection, and no data leaves the EU. ProxyPass is built for businesses that need reliable, private, and auditable remote access to devices they cannot physically reach.
Whether you manage a fleet of digital signage players, monitor IoT sensors at customer sites, or need to pull backups from production servers — ProxyPass gives you a secure tunnel into any network without touching its firewall.
