JetKVM Cloud

JetKVM Cloud lets you use JetKVM from anywhere with an internet connection, on a computer or phone. You sign in with your Google account and open JetKVM from there. It's off by default; on your local network, JetKVM works without it.

What you need

A Google accountTo sign in at app.jetkvm.com.

Connect to JetKVM Cloud

  1. Open JetKVM's web interface: go to the IP address on JetKVM's front display.
  2. Go to Settings, then Access.
  3. Under Remote, leave Cloud Provider on JetKVM Cloud and click Adopt KVM to Cloud.
  4. Sign in with your Google account.

You land on the cloud dashboard, with JetKVM in your list. From now on, open app.jetkvm.com anywhere and sign in with the same Google account.

Your JetKVM password only protects local access. In the cloud, your Google account does that job. See Password.

Disconnect from JetKVM Cloud

Either of these removes JetKVM from your cloud account:

  • In JetKVM's web interface, go to Settings, then Access, and click De-register from Cloud.
  • In the cloud dashboard, open the menu next to JetKVM and click Deregister from Cloud.

Local access keeps working.

How it stays secure

Your browser and JetKVM talk directly over WebRTC, for local and remote access alike. Video, keyboard, mouse and data are encrypted end to end with DTLS and SRTP. The cloud only helps the two find each other.

JetKVM checks every remote session itself. It verifies your Google sign-in and only accepts the account that adopted it, so the cloud can't let anyone else in. This is called a zero trust model.

When a direct connection isn't possible

Firewalls and carrier-grade NAT, common on mobile networks, can block a direct connection. JetKVM then relays the connection through Cloudflare's TURN servers. The relay passes encrypted traffic along and can't read it.

To allow JetKVM through a firewall, see Network Requirements.

Host your own cloud

The cloud components are open source. To use your own, choose Custom as the Cloud Provider before you adopt, and enter your Cloud API URL and Cloud Application URL.
