The Problem

Home users running Minecraft servers, Plex, or other self-hosted services struggle to share them externally. Traditional port forwarding creates security vulnerabilities, while VPN solutions like Tailscale require client software that doesn't work on smart TVs or for non-technical family members. Users need a simple, secure solution that works across all devices without networking expertise.

Potential Solution

A lightweight SaaS relay that creates secure tunnels from your home server to the internet. Install a simple agent with one command, select your services, and get public URLs that anyone can access via browser or app—no port forwarding, no public IP, and no client software for end users. Handles TCP, UDP, and HTTP protocols automatically with built-in security.

Why Now?

The home lab and self-hosting movement is exploding (r/homelab has 600K+ members), but ISPs increasingly use CGNAT (no public IPs) and cybersecurity threats are rising. Existing solutions are either too complex for consumers or too restrictive, creating a clear market gap for a turnkey tool.
