IoT & Edge Devices
You have Raspberry Pis, IP cameras, sensors, digital signage, or edge computers deployed in the field — and you need to reach them remotely without putting them on the public internet.
The problem
Edge devices are often behind NAT, on cellular links, or in locations you can’t physically visit. Exposing each one with port forwarding is impractical and insecure, and dynamic IPs make them hard to find again.
How Rabtly helps
- Runs on small hardware — the Linux daemon is lightweight enough for a Raspberry Pi Zero.
- Reach devices behind NAT/CGNAT — they connect out to Rabtly, so no inbound rules or static IPs are needed.
- Manage the whole fleet from one dashboard — every device shows up with a stable IP and name you can reach from anywhere.
How it works
Flash and install
Install the Rabtly daemon as part of your device image or provisioning script so each unit joins on first boot.
Group your fleet
Put field devices into a group (e.g. cameras, sensors) to manage access in bulk.
Reach them by name
From an admin machine on the network, connect to each device by its Rabtly IP or MagicDNS name — SSH, HTTP, RTSP, whatever the device speaks.
