For Debian (or Raspbian or Ubuntu), .deb packages for amd64 and armhf are available for every release. Additionally, you can try Unum in a Docker container.

How does Minim work?

The Unum agent runs on network gateways, access points, or hot spots. All traffic and connected devices are inspected for identification and indications of problems and threats in realtime. Telemetry is transmitted securely to Minim servers where it is processed and displayed on the Minim web dashboard or in the Minim mobile application.

What information does Unum transmit?

Unum collects (and manages) router settings, firewall settings, wireless access point settings, connected devices, and device connection information. This information is securely sent to Minim servers using both client and server TLS certificate authentication and encryption.

How long does Minim keep data?

Minim keeps per-device connection data for 2 weeks. Aggregate per-device data is kept for 13 months.
