Title: Remotely manage multiple Antminer S9 in different locations / networks
Post by: bitcoin-rabbit on August 20, 2017, 12:41:39 PM
Hello, this is my setup:

- multiple Antminer S9 running in 4 different cities.
- all miners are connected to the internet and working fine.

The problem:
I don’t want to place a computer in every location for separate remote access.

The solution?
How can I manage all 4 locations from one computer?

hey guys i have the same issue

i have my s9's at two different locations and some of these miners suddenly become inactive

my problem is that transportation to the locations will vost me as much as the profit

so i need a way to remotely access them

i heard about raspberry pi and awesome mine but are they legit ?

also is it safe security wise to access them remotely ?

one idea i had was to buy one of smart wifi that can turn of the sockets remotely but then i will have to buy one for every machines

I highly recommend not directly connecting a miner to the internet - always put it behind a firewall and use VPN to the firewall to manage the miners.

"Highly recommend not connecting directly to the Interent" is an understatement.  Connect directly to the Internet and you will lose control of your miners in minutes.  There, that is more like it.

OK, so regarding remotely controlling your miners, I believe Awesome Miner (www.awesomeminer.com) will allow for that.  I don't use that feature, but do control over 100 miners with AM, and love it.  Patrik, the developer, is great and normally responds to questions within 24 hours.

Find out if each location support VPN connectivity. Then simply VPN in and manage each miner as if it was on the same network. No PCs needed...

How about a $35 RPi and some free software at each location?

Run your own VPN server at each location so you can connect remotely to each network.

I was hoping the network gear at the remote sites already had VPN capability, but if not that's an awesome (and cheap) idea.
