FAQ

SecuryBlack is the control panel that should come with every VPS. You connect your Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS, or any provider server, and from a single dashboard you can monitor real-time metrics, audit internal security, monitor crons and backups with heartbeats, and view your Docker container logs. DevOps use it to stop being sysadmins and dedicate that time to building product.

The Hobby plan is free. It includes 1 server, basic port and SSH auditing, telemetry metrics, and email alerts. No credit card required. Pro (€12/month) and Team (€39/month) plans add advanced 1-minute monitoring, Docker container logs, unlimited backup heartbeats, full FerroSentry auditing, multi-channel alerts, and priority support.

Any server with Linux and SSH access. Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS EC2, Linode, Vultr, Scaleway, OVH, dedicated servers, cheap VPS from any provider… if it runs Linux, you connect it. The OxiPulse agent installs with one command and starts sending metrics instantly.

OxiPulse is our open source server monitoring agent. It collects CPU, RAM, disk, and network metrics, and sends them to your dashboard in real time. It's written in Rust because it consumes less than 1% CPU, is memory-safe, and doesn't depend on heavy runtimes like Python or Node. You can audit the code, contribute, or use it independently on GitHub.

A heartbeat is an HTTP signal that your backup script sends to SecuryBlack when finished. If the signal doesn't arrive within the configured interval, you receive an immediate alert. This way you know your backups work, not just hope they do. You only need to add one curl line at the end of your cronjob or script.

When you connect a server, FerroSentry checks the UFW firewall and its open ports, password and root SSH access, fail2ban and automatic security updates, among others. For each problem it shows you how to fix it, and you decide whether to apply it from the panel; critical commands require Sudo Mode.

Yes. We don't store passwords or credentials for your servers. Communication between OxiPulse and our dashboard uses TLS. Provider tokens you connect (for example, Hetzner) are stored encrypted. We never sell data. You can delete your account and all your data at any time.

We alert you when a server stops reporting, a site goes down or recovers, a heartbeat is missed, a certificate or domain is about to expire, or a breach shows up. By email, webhook, Slack, Discord or Telegram.

Yes. Hobby includes 1 server, Pro up to 5, and Team up to 15. Pro and Team are free during the beta. Organizations, multi-user RBAC and SSO are on the roadmap and are not available yet.

You can contact us through the contact form or write directly to hello@securyblack.com. Feedback from DevOps using SecuryBlack is what guides the roadmap, so any idea, bug, or suggestion is welcome. You can also open a public issue on GitHub.
