As a fully remote, global team, we've felt the pain of remote access challenges ourselves. One of our developers has an issue with her Internet service provider (ISP) occasionally changing her IP address. Accessing virtual testing environments meant waiting on our firewall administrator, in a different time zone, to manually reconfigure settings. This resulted in frustration, hindered her ability to get her work done, and took some time out of our firewall admin’s day as well.
The Hard Way vs. The NoPorts Way
Before we created NoPorts, remote access for our team meant:
- Managing and Checking IP Addresses: We’ve never met anyone who enjoys this task.
- Changing Firewall Rules: We’ve also never met anyone who enjoys this one.
- Disrupted Workflow: Because we’re spread across 4 continents and many time zones, the lag time between an issue and a fix could mean hours of time in a developer’s day when they couldn’t do their work. Our firewall admin also had other things to do than sort out access.
Thank goodness we created NoPorts, Atsign’s secure remote access solution! NoPorts creates an encrypted IP tunnel between your client and device, one you can use to safely access your remote devices. It also eliminates the need for static IP addresses and allows the device to be addressable without needing to change firewall rules (as long as the device has Internet access). This means authorized users like our developer can access what they need, from anywhere, with minimal hassle. NoPorts goes beyond convenience, and also provides security not found in other remote access solutions, like the ability to eliminate man-in-the-middle attacks, as well as other network attack surfaces.
The Benefits of NoPorts for Our Team:
- Simplified Logins: No more worrying about IP addresses. Our team can access virtual environments from anywhere with an Internet connection.
- Faster Access with Firewall Bypass: NoPorts bypasses firewall restrictions for authorized parties. This means quicker access to virtual environments and fewer headaches for our firewall admins.
- Proactive Security: Security is paramount. NoPorts prioritizes it with a unique architecture built on Atsign technology that creates an encrypted IP tunnel between you and your device.
- Global Teamwork, Simplified: No more access roadblocks! NoPorts lets our developers around the world collaborate in real-time, fostering faster innovation.
NoPorts streamlines remote access, freeing our developer team to focus on what truly matters: creating amazing work. This secure and user-friendly solution fosters a collaborative environment where our geographically dispersed team can connect easily, share ideas, and innovate together.
