Description

Kestrel serves as a versatile web server for ASP.NET Core applications, being the default server integrated into project templates. It provides support for various protocols including HTTPS and HTTP/2, though the latter is not available on macOS, and facilitates WebSockets through an opaque upgrade feature, along with Unix socket support for enhanced performance when operating behind Nginx. This web server is compatible with all platforms and versions that .NET Core accommodates. Developers must be aware that some browsers necessitate explicit permission to accept the local development certificate, and project templates are pre-configured to utilize HTTPS by default while also integrating HTTPS redirection and HSTS features. Kestrel offers specific configuration options that are particularly beneficial for deployments exposed to the internet, with distinct connection limits for those upgraded from HTTP or HTTPS to other protocols, such as during WebSocket requests. Notably, the server has a default limit for the maximum request body size set at approximately 28.6 MB, or 30,000,000 bytes, ensuring efficient handling of requests. Additionally, the flexibility of Kestrel allows developers to fine-tune these parameters according to their application's specific requirements.

Description

You now have the capability to operate nearly any type of server you can envision, such as a web server, database server, or storage server! You can easily initiate a server using the 'Simple' tab or dive into advanced options to configure users, permitted IP addresses, and much more! It's possible to manage multiple servers simultaneously without requiring root access. This application will function for a week, after which you'll need to purchase the premium version, and you can only set up two servers in this free version—this limitation is necessary to aid in ongoing development. It offers an impressive suite of 18 network tools! Features include remote control support, a PHP Server, NAS Server, dedicated server, and honeypot options! You can secure your settings with encryption and utilize password protection! The app also supports Tasker/Llama, allowing you to start and stop servers using Wi-Fi, SMS, phone calls, power, or cronjob rules! Additionally, you can utilize the 'Trigger Server' for enhanced functionality! Configure settings like port number, network interface to listen on, backlog, and logging options (to a file), and if you have root access, you can set a port below 1024. The application also includes Widget support and a plethora of other features, ensuring a versatile and user-friendly experience! With all these tools at your disposal, managing your server environment has never been easier or more efficient!
