A unique address for every device

After reading the homepage briefly twice, I still have no idea what the service actually is. I can see what it promises, but I have no idea how. Is this a custom VPN server? If not, how is it different? Maybe as a technical person I dont like marketing speak as much as others, but here I feel like you are offering a technical product, so it should have technical language, no?

Sorry that that's the impression. A bit of tech: the sckt agent on the device goes to the sckt server, and asks for a tunnel. It gets an IPv6 address, that is publicly routed, and gets a name (e.g.: storage.acc.sckt.co). Optionally, you can request auth through an HTTP proxy to reach that address, for private deployments. the tunnel to sckt tries to live forever (or until killed), and pretends to be https to get through firewalls.
