Am I correct in thinking networking (TCP/UDP) is impossible to implement without some kind of WebSocket proxy?

  WebRTC lets you send messages point to point, you could tunnel over that, but no, arbitrarily sending packets from inside the users firewall isn’t going to happen.

    You could also open a websocket connection back to a specific host and proxy raw tcp though that. But I wouldn’t be in any hurry to run a public proxy.

      I would to be able to run MTR/traceroute with this. Would be a godsend for anycast network troubleshooting with non-techy users.
      • danielheath 4y ago
        Right, but the traceroute would egress via the proxy, not from the users machine, which would be unhelpful. Yes, there's absolutely good uses for being able to issue regular network packets from a browser, but there's also some quite serious misuses, so we can't have it.
