Module - Linux remote terminal

Secure remote access without VPN or inbound SSH.

Open a browser-based shell from the device record over its outbound Dataplicity connection—no static IP, DynDNS, port forwarding, or customer firewall exception required.

  • Remote shell access stays inside Dataplicity.
  • Commands are tied to the device record.
  • Audit history captures remote actions.

Remote terminal requirements

Install the Dataplicity agent on an internet-connected Linux device. The remote terminal uses its outbound connection, so you do not need an inbound port, VPN, static IP, DynDNS, or on-site network access.
