    Hi,
    This link is broken:
    https://pagekite.net/wiki/Howto/Mac/MacClient/

    Perhaps the MacClient does not exist anymore and this was just overlooked.
    If it does still exist, I want to check it out.

    Regards,
    Jake

    I can't start my kite:

    >>> Creating kite: XXXXXXXX.pagekite.me [CTRL+C = Cancel]

    *** Kite creation failed!
    *** Error code: :Access denied">
    *** Try again later?

    What am I doing wrong?

    I have solved the problem. I found the hidden configuration file .pagekite.rc in the home directory and added the required info. After that it worked properly.

    How to change the user sign up if we have already signed up with another user? When i have installed pagekite i have been signed up with another account , but due to new pagekite domain i need to switch to new account and here i was unable to login to that new account.

    I am getting this error. Please assist me about the same.

    *** Kite creation failed!
    ***
    *** Sorry, that domain (dummytesting3492@gmail.com) is unavailable.
    ***
    *** If you registered it already, perhaps you need to log on with
    *** a different e-mail address?

    The link to the MacClient (the native Mac OSX client for PageKite) is still giving a 404.

    What about email servers behind pagekit?
    They would need PTR records to avoid bouncing (How the phishers last months did without it I don't have a clue).
    Thanks.

    Can you please create a Redis Server backend / Page Kite Frontend How /TO?

  17. Bjarni Rúnar Einarsson said on 2018-11-08, 11:24
    Hey folks, this really is not the right place for tech support questions. :-)

    But quickly:

    * Redis behind PageKite is probably impossible.
    * E-mail servers behind PageKite are also currently impossible and may always be impossible due to security/privacy concerns.
    * If you have previously signed up with an account you no longer wish to use, delete (or edit) your .pagekite.rc or pagekite.cfg file.
    * There is no custom Mac client at the moment, it's just pagekite.py.

    Cheers!

    I am getting a Synology 916+ and Pagekite sounds perfect for bypassing Xfinity for a couple of sites I would host. Is there code for a Synology unit?

    I have a shared IP address. I'd like to use Pagekite to tunnel from my local webserver at home for my domain. But I don't want to send images etc. over this link. It would be nice if PageKite's servers could act as a CDN for this. Even better would be if there was a Wordpress plugin to do this ;-)
