Diode is an open-source, blockchain-based, peer-to-peer network that enables software developers to build valuable decentralized projects. It’s the first and only blockchain-based Ngrok alternative that we’re aware of. Written in Go, Diode was developed by German engineer Dominic Letz and a few Taiwan-based blockchain developers. Why should you choose Diode over Ngrok? This is one of the questions we get asked a lot. We believe that you have, at the minimum, three reasons to use...

At Diode we have deployed a couple of long-running Raspberry Pis equipped with cameras and sensors reporting into our network 24/7. All these are under uptime monitoring for us to keep track of the network availability. Every time there is a software problem we want to know it. For that we’re using some external and internal tools. Eventually we have run into a problem not related to our software. From to time one of our...
