From the Nextcloud Proxy app, an admin can sign up for an Nextcloud Proxy account with one of the supported providers. Once the account is confirmed, the Nextcloud app initiates and maintains a secure connection to the Nextcloud Proxy service. The service in turn provides a recognizable URL on the web that, when accessed via Nextcloud clients, connects users back to their Nextcloud server residing behind their router on a network at home or at work. Once the server is connected, simply download the desktop sync client from Nextcloud.org, or get the Nextcloud apps from the Apple App Store or Google Play, and get started.');?></p>

        <p><?php echo $l->t('All of the security associated with Nextcloud is at work when you use the Nextcloud Proxy service. Nextcloud is still run by you, on your computer. You can monitor what is happening, manage accounts, check the logs, use your own SSL certificates, enable automatic updates and more. The appliance pre-configures much of Nextcloud for you. All you have to do is start the appliance, complete the setup and log into the web URL it provides. The Nextcloud browser wizard at the provided URL will step you through logging in for the first time. Of course, as you configure accounts for others to share on your Nextcloud, we recommend you use secure and complex passwords for all accounts.');?></p>
        <p><?php echo $l->t('However, we want to be completely transparent about the nature of Nextcloud Proxy. The Nextcloud Proxy app is distributed and the source code is in the Nextcloud repository for review in GitHub. The Nextcloud Proxy service is provided by PageKite. All files transferred through the Nextcloud Proxy service do pass through its data centers, and for a brief time are readable as the Nextcloud Proxy service transfers incoming requests from SSL to <a href="https://pagekite.net/wiki/Floss/PageKiteProtocol/">a pageKite protocol</a> on the way to the private Nextcloud Server. In theory, if someone wanted to, all files transferred to and from devices using the Nextcloud Proxy service could – for that brief instant of time that they are being moved from the SSL terminated connection to the tunnel in memory – be read by someone with Nextcloud Proxy service server access. While the risk is small, and our terms and conditions cover this situation, it is something we wanted to be clear about. However, there is no way for the Nextcloud Proxy service to access your data on your private server, it can only broker a connection with your private server.');?></p>
