• no need to provide your own APNs
• no knowledge of TLS/SSL and streaming sockets is needed

Prerequisites

• The Prowl app for iOS is very useful, too
• (For what it's worth, I not bear any relationship to that company but like the powerful service they provide)

Only a few commands are needed to take advantage of MineProwl

If you don't want to get a notification you can use untrack for a player
