tox-tunnel-ops@0.5.1
CAUTIONPublisher claims: "Encrypted P2P TCP tunneling for remote network access — a self-hosted VPN / ngrok / Tailscale alternative built on the Tox protocol (libsodium). No API keys, no accounts, no central servers, no port-forwarding. Solves NAT traversal, carrier-grade NAT, double NAT, intranet penetration (内网穿透), and remote machine access without router or firewall changes. Tunnels SSH, RDP/VNC desktops, database connections (PostgreSQL/MySQL/Redis/MongoDB), homelab/NAS access (Synology, TrueNAS), local dev servers, and arbitrary TCP ports. Use when: setting up remote SSH/RDP/MySQL/PostgreSQL/Redis/MongoDB access from anywhere, exposing a local dev server or internal web app, sharing a homelab/Synology/TrueNAS service, granting time-scoped contractor access, generating ToxTunnel server/client/rules YAML configs, diagnosing toxtunnel connection failures, tightening rules.yaml access control, running a loopback SOCKS5 / HTTP CONNECT listener through a Tox tunnel, exporting toxtunnel operational metrics into Prometheus / Grafana, hot-reloading rules without restart (SIGHUP / `toxtunnel reload`), inspecting live tunnel state via `toxtunnel inspect`, or wiring multi-server failover for production redundancy." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
Is [email protected] safe to install?
KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (1 scenario) on 2026-10-27 and scored it 68/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Privileged sudo command; Direct script execution from GitHub raw URL; Outbound HTTP to raw IP address. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
