Netlink let you accses your home network from everywhere without a VPN. Current protocols: VNC, SSH, SFTP
I just refactored the Project
I optimized the structure of the local server and the relay.
In the frontend, apps will load just when opening them wich is very good for the performance
I completely remade the frontend!
It’s now a hybrid of Material 3 and modern Glassmorphism.
The overhaul took well over 4 hours though a good chunk was done at school (untracked since I wasn’t logged into Hackatime). Overall, I’m really happy with how the new look turned out!
There are probably a few subtle UI bugs hiding in the new design, but I’ll squash those as I find them.
Ship #1
Changes requested
I built a project called NetLink! It lets you connect to your home network from anywhere. Right now, it supports access via VNC, SSH, and SFTP.
It uses WebSockets and web based apps to establish the connection. Everything is routed through a relay node, so you don't need to open any ports on your router.
In the demo version, you can set up your own PC as a local server to try it out (active for 24 hours). If you want to use it long-term, you can easily self-host the project on your own hardware (GitHub Readme).
I’m planning to add support for more protocols soon. If you have any feedback or ideas on how to improve the project, feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM!
Heads up: If you're using the demo, it might take a few moments to load all your devices.
I just finished a few bugs and created an demo enviroment.
If you wanna try it, I’ll explain everything in the ship description.
NetLink features a web-based operating system designed to enhance the user experience with VNC and SFTP. I plan to add support for additional protocols, such as RDP, in the future
Added dynamic SSH server selection. The network scan was a bit difficult. It’s not the prettiest solution to ping every device, but it works!
