Design

Upswift Agent designed with a few key points in mind:

  • Always on - the Agent service is always running in the background, even in case of no internet connection, the agent will always keep the device accessible remotely when the internet connections return.

  • Zero dependencies - designed to run as an "add-on", nothing needs to be installed additionally to make it work.

  • Smart network behavior - the agent only communicate as a client-side on port 443 with Upswift servers. No open network ports or listening servers are needed on the edge device.
