Hello guys,
Longtime no see ;)! i hope everyone is well.
can someone please tell me if there is a way to create a Cloud service like https://www.nabto.com where i would provision and connect my apps to my devices through NAT and the likes?
Nabto seems a bit high on the price.
or maybe something cheaper and reliable…

with C# - you can create server which support TLS 1.2 (MQTT and WEBSOCKET)
and code for client mqtt for tinyclr (not tested yet)
I would recommend AWS IoTcore or AzureIoT at least to start… Both support MQTT/AMQP with a free plan and examples are available for nanoFramework (since TinyCLR does not have the necessary networking yet)… technically both support HTTPS connections as well…
Thank you guys,
The thing I’m confused about is the peer to peer connection will using the above provide that? Where my devices are accessible from a mobile app even when they are behind a fire wall?
Cheers,
There is no direct connection from your device behind the NAT to your mobile device (also behind a NAT). Your device talks to the cloud service, your phone talks to the cloud service, and it looks like they talk - but the cloud is really more like a proxy than anything
