It is hard for me to understand who benefits from these devices. Any serious server environment already uses idrac or something similar. What kind of device are people planning to remote into with them? NVRs maybe?
So disappointing. Ewasted it during Covid. And now... Looks like it's a hot field.
I need to do stop doubting myself. Somehow

Add-on, almost lights-out remote management. Without lights-out management, eventually physical access to power cycle will be needed. For systems people care about, they already have BMC (Supermicro), iLO (HP), iDRAC (Dell) controllers. Anything that can capture HDMI and spit it securely over a wire without some cloud-dependency bullshit, present "virtual USB" or input over the network, and close a RST circuit moment…
Can you elaborate further on the security concerns of NanoKVM? I also fundamentally disagree on your implication that one should "never" use desktops as servers, it all depends on your needs and what trade-offs make sense for your situation. I've been doing this for decades for a basic home server (essentially, for Plex, a personal Minecraft server and a couple of other minor things for my home) in combination with a…

This guy on YouTube made several videos reviewing these and also doing some WireShark analysis, also on NanoKVM. Personally I'd never use these on an interned facing network. But they can still be handy for local only. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yHhdTRVvDFU&pp=0gcJCQYKAYcqIYz...
i got nanokvm pro desktop a couple of days ago. looks like what was before is no more now. i run tcpdump for a while, the only outbound connections are ntp
I've been looking for something like this, but with a built in LTE modem. Also, where do you buy (IoT?) Sim cards cheaply, valid over entire continents or worldwide?
get a esim adapter (ie. euicc in sim card format), find a plan on https://esimdb.com/ , load it onto the esim, and plug it into your iot device.

I'm mildly confused as to the value over, say RustDesk. The latter allows remote control of external machines and has ip hole punching .. no hardware involved! Any takes here?
The advantage of KVMs like this is that it's a remove keyboard, video device, and mouse. That means that you can use it before the OS has started
I do VoIP phone systems for a living and this is why I deploy Supermicro mini-ITX servers, so even if something goes totally sideways as long as the client's IT is competent enough to get me remoted in to their voice network in some way I can troubleshoot it fully and in many cases fix it without leaving my desk possibly half way across the country. If it's an actual hardware problem and I can't fix it remotely I still then know for sure what's wrong and whoever's going on site can be properly equipped for the actual problem rather than having to bring everything.

It's fairly easy to know how to poke around these businesses. Look up the people, the business, and the product. It's less fun when it involves linkedin. Every country has a database of business numbers to name and rough documentation. Dns look up can reveal some information. Social media typically finish the rest. These "founders" are often serial founders, with a ton of abandoned projects and a trail on product hun…
I noticed the template too. Someone mentioned recently that's actually a good risk signal - scammers often use the same site structure across domains. On the research, you're absolutely right. It fits that sweet spot where it's just easy / boring / tedious enough to automate with the current generation of LLMs.

The firmware is open source and you can compile and flash your own. You can even run your own version of their cloud access offering https://github.com/jetkvm
Also you can SSH into it: https://jetkvm.com/docs/advanced-usage/developing#developer-... And the serial console is available over USB UART (SBU) If it's attempting to be a covert op it's doing either a terrible job or a very advanced one.
Given that very distinctive "JetKVM" shape, I am now 99% sure I've seen this gadget someplace last year, If I recall the Mandarin Chinese name (difficult for me), I will post the hardware URI.
One may be surprised how much hardware includes unsigned firmware OTA updates. And someone will need to audit the stack to check if it has that common problem, and predict if it also has SoM specific Linux kernel requirements.
The Raspberry Pi foundation isn't just hardware, but comes with a proven 10 year OS lifecycle. =3
