How to use Easy Remote Access P2P with Shinobi
P2P allows you to connect to your instance without special setups on your end. Just give Shinobi your API Key and away you go.
This is the easiest way to get access your Shinobi from a remote location. No VPN, No Port-Forwarding. P2P is probably a term you've heard before. This usually means inclusion of a third-party server (not run by you) as mediation for your connection in exchange for convenience in use.
Shinobi Systems offers a growing list of P2P servers for you to have your Shinobi machine connect to. We will never log any data that flows through our servers. Privacy and performance are the primary objectives of this service offering from Shinobi Systems.
This service is only available to subscribers. You may purchase a Mobile License to get access.
Switch to Dashboard v3 for the best performance!
