 tumaBox can handle most of current media briliantly. You get full HD resolution and surround sound and you can play virtually any video or audio file you could find. Of course there are tons of other media players and even smart TVs out there that can do the same. But in the low range they do only that - you'll have to forget about the laggy menu experience, the lack of features and the lack of storage. They are cheap but then you'll have to buy something else to keep your files on, something else to take care of connectivity and even those put together won't have the performance of one single tumaBox or its' entire range of features. Read below to find out what these main features are. tumaBox can handle most of current media briliantly.

-You can also read browse the internet and read your email on your TV screen with tumaBox. I know you can do this on your phone but don't tell me that you're never annoyed with the little screen. I know your smart TV already does this as well but in the best case scenario your smart TV is just a phone with a huge screen. This means so and so performance,​ silly browsers, missing plugins that render some websites useless, captive and annoying TV manufacturer portals and so on. By the way I trust that you can edit documents on your smart TV as well. Is that a "​NO"​ I'm hearing? Well... you can do that with tumaBox - edit documents on your large <​del>​smart</​del>​ TV screen. Even more - with tumaBox comes with Firefox and Thunderbird pre-installed but nothing stops you from choosing any other desktop browser that you love: Chromium, Opera etc. You heard well - a real desktop browser - no more trimmed down versions or silly alternatives.+You can also browse the internet and read your email on your TV screen with tumaBox.

 One cool feature that tumaBox has is the ability to use your phone or tablet as a remote control with some third party apps. Thus you can control your tumaBox from anywhere over the internet. One cool feature that tumaBox has is the ability to use your phone or tablet as a remote control with some third party apps.

-Speaking of network and caring about privacy and accessibility tumaBox has a preconfigured private network based on Openvpn. What does it mean and what does it do? It allows you to access ​tour local network and all your data from anywhere in the internet just as if you were sitting right next to the box. For Windows users this means that you could still have all your tumaBox data mounted as drive X: on your laptop even on your trip to Hawaii. But this is just an example. The point is that you can use the same tumaBox services and access the rest of your local network just as you were in your living room, no matter where you really are.+Speaking of network and caring about privacy and accessibility tumaBox has a preconfigured private network based on Openvpn.

-But wait, isn't that a bit dangerous? Will everyone at the hotel see my data? Of course not! Because all the connections are securily encrypted. ​Everyhing ​is kept private at all times. And it gets even better.+But wait, isn't that a bit dangerous? Will everyone at the hotel see my data? Of course not!

 You may or may not know that public or semi-public wifi such as the ones in pubs, hotels and such are not really secure. There are numerous hacks for these and it's fairly easy even for non-IT person to have access at least to parts of information that they shouldn'​t have access to. With your tumaBox VPN you can encrypt all your internet access and leak nothing to those prying eyes. You can even get a slight performance increase because all your internet access will be combined within a single connection which will ease the strain on the local router. You may or may not know that public or semi-public wifi such as the ones in pubs, hotels and such are not really secure.

-What you read on this page are just a selection of the main tumaBox features. The power of this box is way beyond this. The is the beauty and coolness of this device. You could start a cartoon on your TV at home for your kid while you're at the pub or you could choose to turn yourself into a web hosting provider and run hundreds of websites on your tumaBox. You could help disidents or opressed people to access the internet from countries where they are forbidden to by running a tor/​i2p/​freenet node or you might be a disident yourself - what do we know about all the uses of this little box? All we know is: the sky is the limit.+What you read on this page is just a selection of the main tumaBox features.
