## Dataplicity Description
Remotely access your Raspberry Pi shell from any network without dynamic DNS, portforwarding or VPN.

* DOES IT WORK BEHIND NAT?
Yes. The client initiates a secure websockets connection to the Dataplicity service. This means that it works most places where there are firewalls, NAT or other network obstructions in place.

* HOW DATAPLICITY WORKS
The Dataplicity client uses a opportunistically-connected secure web connection to provide a communications channel between your device and Dataplicity, and your web browser attaches to the other end of that channel.

* DO I NEED TO ENABLE SSH?
No. Dataplicity does not require SSH, telnet or any other network services to operate. The client is self-contained and does not open any network ports on the device.

* DOES IT OPEN A LOCAL PORT ON THE PI?
No. Client connections are initiated from the device end and do not open any local ports.

* DO I NEED TO INSTALL SOMETHING ON THE PI?
Yes, you need to install the Dataplicity agent on the Pi. You can view the source on GitHub.

* DOES DATAPLICITY AGENT RUN AS ROOT?
No. When you log into the Dataplicity shell you still need to explicitly ask for super user rights to gain full control.

## Dataplicity Reviews in United States

### *---- "Terrible"
Signed up and verified my account online and the app crashes before I can do anything. Cant add a system because the app crashes when I press the button. iPhone 16 Pro Max and it doesn’t work. This is completely useless. It looks like at the time I downloaded and wrote this review, the App Store says they fixed the signup crash. I guess they just moved it to the next step of adding the device.
-- lofidelityrockr, 2025-03-01

### *---- "Dose not allow you to sign up"
No sign up for service works
-- sgtBadbob, 2025-01-09

### ***** "Excellent app!"
Works smoothly, does exactly as described.
-- HeBetterMan, 2020-07-31

### ***** "Best one out there..."
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..
-- Dee_morri, 2020-03-13

### ***** "Awesome!"
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!!!!
-- Kiggaboi133, 2020-02-17

### **--- "Awful scrolling"
The app neither auto scroll not you can do it manually when there is no room on screen. At the moment app is useless for iOS.
-- vgbltsk, 2019-04-16

### **--- "Good except for a few bugs"
Bug 1: In-Call Status Bar pushes the terminal down and hides lower half of special function keyboard (arrow keys, TAB, etc. ). 

Bug 2: 3rd Party Keyboards of different height block bottom half of special function keyboard.
-- heyijustwanna, 2019-03-23

### ***** "Simplicity"
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.
-- Eric in CA, 2019-02-21

### ***** "Works perfect for what I need"
Just remember to use "su <usernamehere>" to change to your main account rather than just the dataplicity default
-- nasaengineer2024, 2018-04-04

### ***** "A great application"
This application helps me manage my test web server that I use before I publish my sites onto a hosting server.
