Show HN: RESTfender – Connect and secure your IoT devices

5 points by jaypaulynice 8 years ago | 2 comments

Hi HN,

I'm Jay and my cofounder and I have been working on RESTfender to help connect and secure IoT devices. Would love to hear feedback. While there are some IoT platforms out there, we're focusing primarily on the problem of botnets and managing devices. We use machine learning to track and automatically categorize bots.

The app: https://app.restfender.com Website: https://restfender.com

IoT Camera example: https://iot-cam.restfender.com (the goal is to find a place to attract more attention like a bird nest, hamster on a wheel, hummingbird feeder, etc.)

Jay, sorry to say this, but I don't get your product. I'm coming from the IoT space myself and I'm having trouble understanding what your offering is. Is it a reverse proxy for my home IoT devices so I don't have to expose them via PortForwards? If yes, how does that work?

Thanks for the question. Slowly adding details on the website and how it works. Yes it is a reverse proxy. We have a python sdk that you use to connect your device to our platform.
