//SEIBERT/MEDIA is one of Atlassian's biggest partners. We resell their software and love doing so.

But we also happen to be the creators of Linchpin Intranet on top of Atlassian Confluence. Linchpin features a native mobile app for Confluence server called Linchpin Mobile both for iOS and Android.

This page will help you to understand what the difference between Atlassian's official mobile app for Server and Linchpin Mobile is.

Can go through VPN?

MANUAL VPN CONNECTION NECESSARY

"If your Confluence site is not accessible on the public internet, users will need to connect their device to your network or virtual private network (VPN) in order to use the app.

We recommend providing your users with step-by-step instructions on how to connect to your VPN when you let them know the mobile app is available, as this is something Atlassian Support will not be able to help them with."

GATEWAY-SERVICE

We run a secure gateway service for a seamless connection without the need to manually set up a VPN on any mobile device.

You can also manually connect and login as with the Atlassian app. But we believe that no one continuously does that and such apps are not frequently used. It's especially difficult for non-tech-savvy people.

Man in the middle attack safe?

Connections are secured by VPN for behind the firewall instances. SSL required at all times.

Linchpin Mobile establishes an end to end encryption between the app and the Confluence server so that no info can be retrieved by third parties.
