Configure Shredstream in the Dashboard
Before you start
You need one of: an active Ultra plan paid by card, at least one Shreds destination ($100 a month each, available on any plan), or a destination granted to you by cubestech. Prepare:
- A public IPv4 address
- A UDP port from
1024through65535 - A receiver listening on that port
- A firewall and network route that allow inbound UDP
Private, loopback, link-local, shared-address (CGNAT), multicast, reserved and broadcast addresses, hostnames, IPv6, malformed addresses and out-of-range ports are rejected.
Register the destination
- Open Dashboard → Projects → your project → an active node.
- Find Shredstream delivery in the node details.
- Enter the receiver IPv4 address.
- Enter the UDP port.
- Select Add destination.
- Read the
SHREDCAST-VERIFY <destination id> <token>challenge from that UDP socket. - Paste the full challenge, or just the token, into the verification field and select Verify destination.
Delivery remains pending until the challenge succeeds. No staff approval is required.
Read the status
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
not_configured | No destination exists |
provisioning | The destination is awaiting UDP verification or activation |
active | The destination is active |
error | Provisioning failed. Review the displayed error and retry |
Add more destinations
The panel shows how many destinations your account may run and how many slots are free. When every slot is taken, buy Shreds from the same panel: pick how many destinations to add, confirm the charge on your saved card, and the new slots appear immediately.
Each unit is $100 a month, billed on its own subscription and prorated when you add units mid-cycle.
Replace a destination
Stop the destination you no longer want, then add the replacement. The new destination remains pending until you verify its UDP challenge.
Stop delivery
Select Stop on a destination and confirm. cubestech removes it from the delivery gateway and frees the slot.
Losing entitlement removes destinations automatically, newest first, down to what you still pay for. Moving off Ultra removes the plan-included destination but keeps every Shreds destination. Cancelling Shreds removes the purchased ones. Scheduling a plan cancellation keeps its destination available through the paid period; it is removed only when Stripe reports the subscription as canceled at period end.
