Acting as a Middle so that your Out can communicate with your In

😠 Problem

• I have a home server and several Internet-connected nodemcu devices at different locations.
• I want to be able to access data collected by these devices from anywhere in the world using my Phone or Watch.

🤓 Techincal Problem

1. Access the internal data..
2. Without having to open a port in my home router.
3. I can't open ports on other locations.
4. Without having to use ssh tunneling or reverse proxy on home router.
5. I can't use ssh tunneling or reverse proxy on other devices.
6. Without having to setup a static IP.
7. Without turning my client device into a server and somehow connecting my Devices to client directly (also, see 2, 4)
8. Without trying to bypass firewall.

💡 Solution

• Send a POST request with key to a remote server to add / update data.

$ curl -X POST yourserver.url/super-secret-key -d 'I DID DONE IT... 20MB worth JSON b64 encoded data...'

• Send a GET request with the same key to get the data.

$ curl -X GET yourserver.url/super-secret-key
$ I DID DONE IT... 20MB worth JSON b64 encoded data...
