Claim:
1. A system, comprising: a node being disposed at a location, the node having node functionality that facilitates remote access to the node, wherein the remote access to the node enables a user of a user device to remotely access the node via the user device; and a remote site being remote from the node, the remote site being remote from the user device of the user, the remote site having remote access functionality that facilitates the remote access to the node, wherein the remote access functionality of the remote site facilitates the remote access to the node by intermediating one or more requests or responses between the user device of the user and the node, wherein the node functionality of the node facilitates the remote access to the node by receiving or outputting the one or more requests or responses intermediated by the remote site, wherein the remote site is configured to be capable of: registering the node at the remote site by associating in a data store (i) node identifying information that identifies the node and (ii) location identifying information that identifies the location where the node is disposed; and causing the remote access to the node to be inoperable if the node has not been registered at the remote site.
