Onion addresses for anything.
onionpipe forwards ports on the local host to remote Onion addresses as Tor
hidden services and vice-versa.
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.
Basic operation with a config file. Try, for example:
cargo run -- --config examples/config.json
This example forwards a local port 4566 to a remote port 4567 on an ephemeral onion address, while simultaneously forwarding a remote Tor project HTTP server to local port 8080.
Config file format and API are currently unstable. No compatibility guarantees at this time.
