FAQs
Homecloud is designed for security. It has multiple protection layers built in to protect your privacy and freedom:
Network security:
To prevent unauthorised network access, Homecloud, by default, will only be accessible either over your local Wi-Fi or if enabled over a VPN. This limits attack surface significantly.
- Firewall: Homecloud has built in and hardened network and app firewall to protect against known threats.
- SSL: All network traffic is encrypted both by VPN as well as TLS (app level).
End to End Encryption (E2E):
Sensitive data like Passwords and Notes are E2E encrypted. So, even if your device is in wrong hands, your data is not. No backdoors.
Data durability:
Homecloud is built on high performance and durable Solid State Disks(SSDs). SSDs are built to last for decades as there are no moving parts (unlike hard disks). You can further safeguard data with one click backup of data to external USB disks. Just plug-in USB disk to Homecloud and take backup of your data.
