FlexiHub
3.6Access USB devices over a network.
Overview
FlexiHub is a versatile tool to access the contents and functionality of remote USB devices over a network. With FlexiHub, you can access and manage remote devices as if they were connected directly to your machine, no matter where they are actually physically located - next door or across the globe. The app forms a hardware cloud that has all devices connected to network computers via USB ports. The devices are listed along with their types so you can easily figure out what device you need to connect to - a scanner, a printer, a USB dongle, a camera, etc. You can access a device shared on a Mac from a Windows or Linux machine, and the other way round. FlexiHub users can also invite others to access and work with their shared devices. By compressing data, Flexihub in effect reduces data traffic. The app is especially helpful in corporate environments where it is often required to share data - in a fast, efficient, and secure way. The safety of your data is guaranteed by secure 256-bit SSL encryption, so you do not need to worry about your sensitive data being accessed by an unauthorized party.
Note: Though the application is free to download, the service is subscription-based. Pricing can be found here.

Also, you pay just once and you only need to update the software for the platform/version you need, but with FlexiHub you have to pay every year to keep using it.
If the price model of FlexiHub were cheaper I would recommend it to small/medium installations, but with this price model it is already better to buy the hardware option. This is why I give it 3 stars instead of 5.
Current annual Professional subscription plan for FlexiHub allows to manage 10 devices instead of 3 USB ports provided by SEH myUTN-250. Moreover, FlexiHub lets you manage devices remotely - connect to them and then disconnect USB devices without your physical presence at the remote site.
FlexiHub is multi-platform: it supports Windows, macOS, Linux and Android.
That said at least the company seems to demonstrate some integrity as it is open and honest about pricing instead of trying to hide it as so many other attempt to do, often forcing users to download the App before revealing the cost. I regard such tactics as predatory marketing.
