What is a CloudLAN room?

It's a virtual VPN network to which all your users can connect to & communicate with each other over private IP’s like you are connected on the same LAN network.

How many devices can be connected by a user?

Each user can connect using 2 devices simultaneously to a CloudLAN room

What is a Server License?

Servers feature is built for cases where you have an always-on machine to which you would like to have a secure & private connectivity to it. The adoption process is as simple as running a single command on the server terminal. Learn more - http://y5.ai/serverclients

What is the difference between CloudLAN and TeamVPN, When to use what?

CloudLAN is a virtual network that's provisioned for you & your team to connect & collaborate in. 

You have 2 methods of connection to a CloudLAN room, TeamVPN ON or OFF.

When you “Connect without TeamVPN” (OFF), all your regular internet requests will be sent through your internet connection. This helps in better latency on VoIP or Web conferencing.

When you “Connect with TeamVPN” (ON), all your internet traffic is securely routed through your CloudLAN room. This is useful when you are using an unknown WIFi network or want to access servers protected by firewall rules to allow only connection from whitelisted IP. Check our article on securing your cloud resources with TeamVPN

How a lifetime deal works ?

Each LTD license will give 1 CloudLAN room. You can invite users as per user licenses included in the room license. The room will renew automatically every month which will reset the Data FUP limits

What is unlimited data?

Based on the licenses, you would have received unlimited data on CloudLAN & TeamVPN & it's truly Unlimited in the sense we don't restrict, but we do keep a record of data usage. We have set Fair usage limits at 1 TB/month which should be more than enough for normal usage, if you cross the limit we review your account & increase the limits. Usage is bound by the terms of use policy

How do I check data usage?

Overall room usage is shown in the rooms overview by clicking on room name, If you are an admin, next to each user, check on More options -> View Logs, you will find their total data usage for the month & individual session's data in the list

Who can use CloudLAN? 

Anyone can subscribe to a CloudLAN room by downloading the app & creating a new room. Once created, admin can invite other users, so they can connect to it.

How CloudLAN makes it easy from setting up VPN Rooms and Adding Servers?

It’s as easy as creating a group in a chat application, and without any networking skills can create VPN rooms, and can add servers. Hence, Simply5 CloudLAN simplifies everything from setting up VPN rooms to adding servers.

How is CloudLAN safe and secured? 

Each CloudLAN room is linked to a Virtual Network instance, to which the members are connected to using an encrypted tunnel. All the communication happens securely over this encrypted connection. Make sure you use TeamVPN when connecting over unsecured public Wi-Fi networks for secure browsing.

How many rooms can a user create?

There are no limits on the number of rooms a user can create, if you are part of multiple project teams please create multiple rooms & invite them to respective project rooms

Can a user create multiple rooms using the same lifetime deal ?

No, One lifetime deal coupon code is valid only for creating a single Room subscription.

How can I host my local host to a public URL using CloudLAN?

When your service is running on your localhost, simply login to the app and connect to a room then you can add service and cast it on public URL.

TeamURL vs PublicURL?

Simply5 CloudLAN gives you feature to host your localhost service on two different URLs. TeamURL is only accessible for room members. And PublicURL is publicly accessible over the internet without room connection.
