What is inlets?
You can use inlets to connect HTTP and TCP services between networks securely. Through an encrypted websocket, inlets can penetrate firewalls, NAT, captive portals, and other restrictive networks lowering the barrier to entry.
VPNs traditionally require up-front configuration like subnet assignment and ports to be opened in firewalls. A tunnel with inlets can provide an easy-to-use, low-maintenance alternative to VPNs and other site-to-site networking solutions.
You can run inlets as a stand-alone binary, in Docker, integrated into Kubernetes for Ingress, or with cloud APIs. All services can be kept private in the target network, or exposed publicly.
Comments and Reviews
I haven't even used it yet, but the glyph is awesome and it serves a very useful function.
It seems like this should be freemium since there is a pro version. If LimeSurvey is freemium, this should be too.
Still, it's nice to see this niche being filled. This is a very necessary thing for modern networking to do, and most solutions are proprietary or at least not free. Will be checking this out.
Also, I really dig that glyph!
