Nope sorry, still using Apache 2. :-|

Hello,

Yep, the site already uses a caching plugin (w3TotalCache) and it is configured with memcached at the backend. Unfortunately, even with this the site still makes a couple of DB calls with each page load, but nowhere near as many as without the caching. Maybe I'll shove varnish in front of it too for good measure :joy:

Yes, it seems I did not anticipate such traffic and my autoscaling settings did not allow the front end web servers pool to expand big enough. It is times like this I wonder why I switched back to WordPress compared to hosting statically generated content on S3 + Cloud Front :-(. It should be back now, apologies.

I think this would not work because the HonSSH server with the HonSSH user is hosting a proxy service. The user gets dumped into an actual vanilla looking Linux host at the backend.

UIs suck anyway, just make a kick ass API and then for the front end just cobble something together in Bootstrap and use a free starter template. At the end of the day your SaaS product will sell itself on it's features if it has some good USP.

This is a super cool application for this, unfortunately our water meters and stuff in the UK are very basic mechanical devices in most cases still which sucks so none of this fun for me... This does remind me I probably should check out a few other things though, such as ZigBee protocol on my home automation stuff.

Not sure if this is a good idea or not, security by obscurity never really fools anyone in my opinion... Anyway I think that the HonSSH logs are not visible to the attacker, they are on the man in the middle node so hence the hacker doesn't get to see them, for the most part it looks very very similar to a legitimate SSH connection.

ok, seems to be fixed now... it's simple, and effective.

Really wanted to give this a go but unfortunately when I try and create a server it doesn't do anything, just refreshes to the main dashboard. No error or any other detail is shown. But overall nice idea, would probably use it to provide demos of a script / project for a fixed 2 hour window.

I am looking for appraisal of the offering. If you'd like to try it out you can use the following discounts...
