What is Yaler?
Yaler is a relay infrastructure designed to facilitate secure access to embedded systems from the web. It enables connectivity for devices located behind firewalls, NAT, or mobile network routers, offering services such as web, SSH, and VNC access. The platform operates on a pay-per-use model with premium support, ensuring reliability and scalability from prototyping to full deployment.
By installing the YalerTunnel daemon or Yaler library, users can establish stable, known URLs for accessing their devices via any browser or smartphone. This eliminates the need for port forwarding and supports various hardware, including Arduino Yun and Raspberry Pi, with compatibility across multiple Linux distributions.
Features
- Secure Access: Provides web, SSH, or VNC access to embedded systems behind firewalls or NAT
- Hassle-free Setup: No port forwarding required; access via stable URLs after installing daemon or library
- Hardware Compatibility: Works with any device offering a TCP socket, including Arduino Yun and Raspberry Pi
- Reliability and Scalability: Engineered for high reliability from prototype to deployed product
- Tunneling Protocols: Supports most TCP-based proprietary and legacy protocols for various applications
Use Cases
- Remote SSH access to Linux devices for debugging and updates
- Web access to localhost from anywhere for monitoring and configuration
- Integration with third-party web services for enhanced functionality
- Tunneling TCP-based protocols like VNC for machine operation
- Smartphone app development for remote product control
