It seems interesting, but I’m having a hard time imagining what an appealing use case would be.
- hkt 4y agoI'm thinking the same thing. Is there some kind of circumstance where I'd want to use this instead of SSH? I'm hardly inclined to fix what isn't broken at the best of times, but the p2p element just seems weirdly superfluous.
- Firerouge 4y agoOpening shells on cellular devices perhaps, almost always they'll be on NAT, on an unfixed IP, which you can't port forward through.
- jeff_carr 4y agoIt would seem useful to control a large botnet of compromised hosts.
- hem777 4y agoAccessing a “home computer” behind a NAT you don’t control or has a dynamic IP, eg. computers/devices that only have mobile connection and many (most?) broadband home connections.
- the8472 4y agoNodes that are behind unconfigurable CGNATs usually have IPv6. So DDNS + listening on v6 + PMP could achieve same.
- hem777 4y ago*and if you don’t want to sign up for DDNS :)
- chatmasta 4y agoI sometimes need to connect to a CI runner to debug some CI build script. I made a (quick hack of a) tool [0] for doing that by creating an Onion service on the runner listening to SSHD, and printing a one-liner I can paste on my dev machine to connect to it via Tor. This sounds like basically the same idea, but using a DHT and hole punching instead of onion routing. [0] https://github.com/milesrichardson/shonion https://github.com/milesrichardson/shonion
