🐡 Easy Tunneler 🐡

The dead simple solution for securely accessing your stuff from anywhere in the world

Inspired by wg-easy, Easy-Tunneler makes accessing local applications in another computer stupidly simple from any device. Specifically, it is a frontend for OpenSSH, utilizing its amazing local port forwarding feature to access locally hosted applications like Nextcloud and Immich remotely. It intends to be a simpler alternative to accessing local apps via VPNs.

You must have OpenSSH installed, and also have key-based authentication setup for the server you're connecting to. Password-based authentication is not supported for security purposes.

• See this guide on how to setup key based authentication

Once you have that, use the provided run.sh to run easy-tunneler

  ./run.sh
