iOS App

The iOS app lets you send faxes and check statuses from your phone. It connects to your own Faxbot server.

Key points

  • A tunnel is required for the iOS app to reach your server (LAN‑only setups won’t work off‑network).
  • HIPAA users should use a HIPAA‑capable tunnel (WireGuard or Tailscale). Avoid Cloudflare Quick Tunnels for PHI.
  • Pairing uses a short‑lived code generated from the Admin Console. No secrets are embedded in QR codes.

Setup overview

  1. Open the Admin Console and locate the VPN/Tunnel settings.
  2. Choose a provider:
  3. WireGuard (HIPAA‑capable): connect to your existing WG server (e.g., Firewalla).
  4. Tailscale (HIPAA‑capable): join your Tailnet with an appropriately scoped key.
  5. Cloudflare Quick Tunnel (dev only): non‑PHI trials; not HIPAA‑compliant.
  6. Generate an iOS pairing code and enter it in the iOS app.
