my.anyterm.org
my.anyterm.org offers you an easier way to use Anyterm: rather than install it on your own systems, you just log in to my.anyterm.org from a browser and SSH or telnet from there. It's designed for system administrators and others who want a backup remote access method that will work from "web-only" internet cafes or from behind corporate firewalls.
You can join for a year for only £10. That's about US$12.50 or €11, depending on exchange rate fluctuations. You can pay using Paypal, which also accepts credit/debit card payments. Contact us if you'd like to pay by some other means. By joining my.anyterm.org you'll also be supporting the further development of Anyterm.
Once you've joined, going to my.anyterm.org will present you with a "desktop" from which you can start a terminal, and from the terminal you can SSH or telnet to your systems:
Please try the demos to get an idea of the performance of the system and to check for any browser compatibility issues; the demos run on the same machine as the my.anyterm.org service.
If you'd like to join, just choose a username and password and complete the form below. (You should read the blurb at the bottom before paying.)
It is probably best if you use only alphanumeric characters for the username and password. More unusual characters may cause problems with some web browsers.
Note: my.anyterm.org has recently (August 2018) moved to a new server and bugs may exist - please get in touch if something doesn't work as expected.
The Small Print
- Paypal payments that do not clear immediately, i.e. "e-cheques" and payments funded from a bank account, are accepted but your account will not be actvated until the payment has cleared, and may require human intervention. This seems to take about a week. Please pay from your paypal balance or using a credit card, since these methods transfer funds instantly. This restriction has been introduced in response to a scam.
- We do not guarantee the availability or functionality of the my.anyterm.org service. In particular, we do not guarantee that it will function with any particular web browser, or that it will be available at any particular time, or offer any particular level of performance. We do, however, sometimes rely on it to keep our own servers functional, which we hope will give you some confidence in our intentions.
- It is your responsibility to ensure that your system will accept incoming telnet and/or ssh connections from my.anyterm.org.
- Our fixed-rate subscription is intended to allow periodic use, for example to allow emergency maintenance, not continuous access. We therefore reserve the right to enforce the following monthly quotas: 30 hours of connection time, 10 Mbytes of HTTP(S) data transfer, and 1 CPU-hour of processing time. Note that your account will not be disabled automatically if you exceed these quotas. Please contact us if you would like to raise these thresholds.
- You may not use your account for any illegal purpose, including but not limited to unauthorised access to computer systems. Furthermore you may not use your account for any purpose that we deem to be disallowed even if such use is legal, for example sending unsolicited email. Attempting to hack (or simply "probe") our own system is especially frowned upon and will result in immediate termination without refund and reports being submitted to authorities - or your employer, for example.
- Even if you use HTTPS and SSH, your data passes through our servers unencrypted and will be logged. You need to trust us not to abuse our position. We undertake not to deliberately disclose your data to any third party unless they have a legal right to access it, e.g. law enforcement agencies, or if we reasonably believe that your account is being used for unlawful or undesireable purposes, in which case we may pass your data to law enforcement agencies or other appropriate authorities. It is possible, however, that your data may "leak" to hackers or to other third parties; your expectation of privacy from this service should be low.
- You should note that our payment processing and account management system is very much home-made, and some glitches should be expected. It is possible that in some cases manual intervention may be requierd to get your account going.
- Please give us a valid email address. We will use it only to remind you when your year's subscription nears expiry or to offer you other vital account-related information.
