How does it work?

Your servers run on your computers

PageKite works with all HTTP and HTTPS servers, as well as SSH and few other TCP-based protocols.


pagekite.py connects to the cloud

The pagekite.py (or libpagekite) tool automatically selects the closest working relay, minimizing latency and avoiding network outages.


pagekite.net relays your traffic

Nobody ever needs to know your IP address, all traffic passes through our relays. For even more privacy, we support both end-to-end and wild-card TLS encryption.
