The Wish-list

By Bjarni R. Einarsson 2021-09-21, 18:06

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

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!
