onionpipe

Onion addresses for anything.

onionpipe forwards ports on the local host to remote Onion addresses as Tor hidden services and vice-versa.

Why would I want to use this?

onionpipe is a decentralized way to create virtually unstoppable global network tunnels.

For example, you might want to securely publish and access a personal service from anywhere in the world, across all sorts of network obstructions -- your ISP doesn't allow ingress traffic to your home lab, your clients might be in heavily firewalled environments (public WiFi, mobile tether), etc.

With onionpipe, that service doesn't need a public IPv4 or IPv6 ingress. You can publish services with a globally-unique persistent onion address, and share access securely and privately to your own allowlist of authorized keys.

What can I do with it right now?

Nothing yet. This is still in development.

What's the plan?

• CLI compatibility with the Go implementation.
• Rust library distribution with simplified high-level port-forwarding API
• A GUI distribution possibly based on Tauri
• Cross-platform distribution of the above: Linux, macOS, Windows on popular architectures
