How it works

Serve local apps
without exposing your network.

A public edge server serves your domain and runs every firewall rule and auth check.
Your app stays on localhost, reached only through a tunnel it dials out to.

Direct Connect

When both devices run Uplink, traffic can take an encrypted peer-to-peer path: lower latency, no edge bandwidth.

Web protocol support

Modern web protocols,
without the setup.

Publish one local HTTP port and Uplink handles the rest: automatic HTTPS at the edge, native WebSocket upgrades, and long-lived SSE streams—all through the same encrypted tunnel.

01 · Automatic HTTPS TLS 1.3 · ready

Secure from the first request.

Every app gets a secure public URL. Uplink handles TLS before traffic enters your encrypted tunnel.

02 · WebSockets 101 Switching Protocols

Real-time connections stay open.

Upgrade requests pass through end to end for terminals, dashboards, collaborative tools, and live status.

03 · Server-Sent Events text/event-stream

Streams keep streaming.

Long-lived SSE connections work for logs, progress, notifications, and token-by-token AI responses.

Works with the apps you already run

If it listens on a local HTTP port, it is ready for Uplink.

Next Gen Transport Layer

The OpenTunnels Protocol.

A modern open source transport protocol for secure, high-performance tunnels.

QUIC + TLS 1.3

High performance multiplexing-optimized transport with a 1-RTT handshake (0-RTT on resume). TLS 1.3 encryption by default on every connection.

Channel binding (RFC 9266)

Every credential is welded to the exact TLS session it rides on. A captured token is cryptographically inert on any other connection.

Broad web compatibility

HTTP requests, WebSocket upgrades, and SSE streams share one encrypted QUIC connection, with each request bound to the device Ed25519 identity.

Enforced tenant isolation

Tunnel credentials are bound to device public keys, edges route by that signed claim rather than the requested hostname.

No head-of-line blocking

Each request rides its own QUIC stream with its own flow control, so one slow transfer never stalls the others.

Written in Rust

Minimal reliance on external packages, well-tested memory-safe code, dependencies audited on every build.
