tynel

tynel is a simple command-line tool for creating reverse SSH tunnels. It allows you to expose your local services to the internet using a subdomain format like remotePort.tunnel.technobabble.hr.

Features

• Takes two arguments: a remote port and a local port.
• Outputs the generated tunnel URL in the format: remotePort.tunnel.technobabble.hr.
• If the specified remote port is already taken, it will display a friendly message: "This subdomain is already taken, try another one."

Installation

You can install tynel globally using npm:

Usage

To create a tunnel, run the command with the remote and local port as arguments:

npx tynel <remotePort> <localPort>

Where:

• <remotePort> is the port you want to use on the remote server.
• <localPort> is the local port you want to expose.

The tool will generate a URL in the form of remotePort.tunnel.technobabble.hr for successful tunnel creation.

Example Usage

Example 1: Successful Tunnel Creation

npx tynel 10001 3000

Output:

Tunnel created successfully! Access your local service at: 10001.tunnel.technobabble.hr

Example 2: Another Successful Tunnel Creation

npx  tynel 10002 8080

Output:

Tunnel created successfully! Access your local service at: 10002.tunnel.technobabble.hr

Example 3: Failed Tunnel Creation (Port Already Taken)

npx tynel 10001 5000

Output:

This subdomain is already taken, try another one.
