MeshCentral

Wow, nice. That is very cool.

Hi. Yes, we are cool with that. MeshCentral is Apache 2.0 licensed and your free and encouraged to fork, distribute and even make commercial offerings or build a business around it. In fact, we offer a lot of easy ways to rebrand your site, so, plenty of options.

MeshCentral "My Account" page with the Duo setup dialog box opened. We also see the Duo configuration JSON on the bottom left.

MeshCentral v1.1.36 was just released and along with other fixes, it now supports Duo Two-Factor Authentication. This is great for administrators that was to give this added security feature a try. Duo works along other supported 2FA modes. Thanks to @si458.bsky.social for this great work.

It's been a while. Just published a new blog entry on starting work at Microsoft this week and what is going on with MeshCentral: https://meshcentral2.blogspot.com/2023/02/starting-work-at-microsoft.html

Just published MeshCentral v1.1.0 with updated MeshAgents for most platforms. The new agent includes OpenSSL 1.1.1s along with many bug fixes.

I just updated the public http://MeshCentral.com server from version v1.0.56 to current v1.0.99. I will let it run for a while. If it looks good, v1.0.99 will be the new "Stable" version.
