I have been thinking, pretty much since I started playing with OpenWRT - how great it would be if someone created a cloud management portal; similar to what is used by Meraki.

I got my openwrt box out again and have been setting it up to replace my Cisco Meraki. And I stumbled on https://goodcloud.xyz

It's in beta. It supports the GL-iNet devices (I have one).

I will attach a screenshot. You have limited control over the device like configuring wifi. Considering these routers are <$20 that may be interesting to play with. WAN IP is also reported to manage it via dynamic ISP IP that will change.

So... does it scale?

And if so, how soon before it starts to take over in the public and SMB space? :smug:
