"Raspberry Pi Connect is a tool that lets admins remotely access a Raspberry Pi device from a web browser. It launched in 2024 as a free service for individuals and was later joined by Raspberry Pi Connect for Organizations, aimed at commercial customers with fleets of devices, costing $0.50 per device per month."
"$0.50 per device per month is cheap for a commercial remote access solution on Windows. In response to queries on the subject, the Raspberry Pi team made a Windows version of the service available, albeit as a highly experimental demo not intended for production, at the end of April."
"Gordon Hollingworth, CTO of Software at Raspberry Pi, told The Register: "The Raspberry Pi Connect daemon implementation is currently closed source, but we intend to open source it eventually so it can be added to other architectures." Hollingworth noted that the Windows version was working in early beta form, saying: "We think it may be useful for our customers to control all their devices from one place. But we are still investigating the concept and may remove this capability if there's insufficient interest.""
"Raspberry Pi has quietly added more enterprise-friendly features over time. Tags can now be applied to devices (for example, to show their location or purpose), and it is possible to require two-factor authentication for members of Connect for Organizations. The company's computers have long been a low-cost option for businesses considering thin clients, and its most recent crop of hardware releases, such as the computer-in-a-keyboa"
Raspberry Pi Connect provides remote access to Raspberry Pi devices through a web browser. The service launched in 2024 as a free offering for individuals and later added a version for organizations targeting commercial customers managing device fleets. The organizational service costs $0.50 per device per month. A Windows version was made available as a highly experimental demo rather than a production-ready product. The Connect daemon implementation is currently closed source, with plans to open source it later to support additional architectures. The Windows capability may be removed if there is not enough interest. Device tagging and two-factor authentication are available for organizations, and Raspberry Pi has added enterprise-friendly features over time.
