Dataplicity - Terminal for Pi

Very easy to setup! And very easy to use! I wanted to play and learn about linux when Im away from the computer. Since Im newbie I spend hours to find the app and still couldn’t figure it out. I was about to give up and dataplicity was my last try and boom it only took 5min!!!!! and works great!!! with my phone without using same wifi as raspberry pi!!! I personally never write reviews on web but Dataplicity saved me from nightmare !!!! Thank you!!!!! You guys deserve to get 5 stars!!!!

Caveat: every command you run _will_ be sent through Dataplicity's servers, so if you have mission critical or sensitive work to do, I highly suggest a quick search on google for 'reverse SSH' or 'SSH tunnel' and going that route instead. No amount of convenience is worth an unintended or poorly timed loss of privacy. The Dataplicity services in addition to this app allow me to access my SBCs (currently Raspberry Pis) inside my LAN without having to jump through a bunch of hoops like setting up a DMZ, configuring port forwarding, etc. Because Dataplicity provides a backend service to establish and maintain internet-facing connections to my devices, I can connect to multiple devices inside any given network regardless of whether or not I am behind NAT, forwarded ports, set up a DMZ and so on and so forth. Dataplicity's service really does allow set-it-and-forget-it style console access to your home Raspberry Pis from anywhere on the web! And the app just makes it that much easier to work with your devices once setup is done!

Dataplicity works very well as a convenient way to access a shell from practically anywhere. The phone access is great, but even better is the web access, as you have the luxury of a full size keyboard and such. Highly recommend.

I have played with a lot of other software that offers remote access to Linux machines and by far this is the easiest to operate..

It works as advertised, and very well. No issues at all. But what good is the remote terminal on a Linux system without control, tab, escape, etc. keys on the keyboard? Add a proper keyboard--copy Prompt's if you must--and Dataplicity would be a 4-5 star app. Quibbles: font size should be a setting, get the colors right in the terminal, allow landscape mode.
