If there are any particular features you would like to see
added to pagekite.py or the PageKite service, feel free to
edit this page and add them to the list:
- A way to forward a single public port (don't care about port #) to a pre-defined port (22) on my own machine, without a proxy.
- Better kite diagnostics on the /home/ page.
- Configurable answering-machine pages
- Prettier and more mobile-friendly answering-machine pages
- A way to register a top-level domain
- Better error-messages and UI for pagekite.py
- IP-based access controls at front-end
- WSGI support at the back-end
- Zero-trust front-end
- An ios and/or android app to monitor account/kites with the option of in app purchases to pay for the service
- Support for Bonjour Sleep Proxy (wake Mac on Demand)
- Simpler way to launch pagekite as daemon on startup.
- Server region selection, response is slow from Australia to overseas kite servers
- Notifications of kites going offline/online via email
- Payment Method To Get Subscription Plan
Issue tracking at github.com
Wishes that were granted
- A wiki with a WishList and a HowTo!
- Decent SSH support
- A way to buy bandwidth
- A way to password-protect a website so that I can share an "unsecured" internal website and give a password to a friend
Discarded ideas
- pagekite.py as a tor entry node requires changes to tor.
- A name that is easier to remember -- I keep forgetting page kite!

Your instructions and how to's are well documented. I had a small hicup when trying to use latest version of Python. I uninstall it and installed version 2.6 and I got it running in no time.
Once more, thank you
Egill: I am working on that, actually. You can obviously do it today by reconfiguring your web server, but we're hoping that we can make it more user friendly by adding a nice UI to PageKite.
Can I run Pagekite on Windows as a service? A howto would be nice (a 1 click installer would be perfect).
It would be nice if pagekite.py would print at startup a clear message where to find your site.
Something like:
PageKite version xx is up and running.
Visit your site at http://you.pagekite.net.
and not the very technical output stuff: this is usefull if things go wrong but useless if everthing is ok.
