Advanced User Management for All Plans

I've implemented a comprehensive user management system for both Dedicated Server and Shared Seat plans! You can now create multiple sub-users, manage their credentials, and control access directly from the dashboard. For Shared Seats, users are automatically isolated using a prefix system, ensuring privacy and security while sharing infrastructure.

Visibility Group Management

Data isolation is key for tactical operations. You can now create and manage TAK visibility groups directly in the dashboard. Assign users to specific groups with granular IN/OUT data flow directions to control exactly who sees what on the map. This works seamlessly across dedicated servers and individual seats.

OpenVPN Integration with Multicast Support

I've implemented full OpenVPN server management directly in the TAKGRID dashboard! You can now deploy a complete VPN solution with Layer 3 (TUN) routing that works on all devices - iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, and macOS. The system handles automatic certificate generation, client management, and one-click .ovpn profile downloads. What I'm really excited about is the multicast emulation support (similar to ZeroTier) with full support for the 224.0.0.0/4 multicast range.

Bring Your Own Server (BYOS)

You can now set up private servers if you already have the hardware and manage them seamlessly through the TAKGRID dashboard! This gives you full control over your infrastructure while still getting all the automation and management features I've built into the platform. You maintain complete root access to your server, and TAKGRID provides the tools to manage it all from a single dashboard. Perfect if you want to bring your own infrastructure or have specific compliance requirements.
