Some comfort with your computer helps. You boot your own x86 computer from a USB stick and pick two drives, and the installer does the rest. There's no router configuration, port forwarding, or certificate setup, and our install guide walks through the boot menu step by step. Support covers the relay and updates.
Ctrl Cloud opens an outbound encrypted tunnel to our relay server. Your router never needs a port forwarded. The relay is a TCP passthrough only so TLS terminates on your hardware, not even CtrlSync can read your traffic.
The USB install kit (USB Key and USB Installer, set up for you and shipped) is $50 one-time. The relay subscription is $15/month and covers relay hosting, TLS certificate management, DNS, and container and software updates. You supply the computer, and each kit is set up for you, so allow about two weeks for shipping. If you cancel, your data stays on your hardware and Ctrl Cloud keeps working on your home network with updates continuing. Only remote access pauses until you re-subscribe.
