LRO
Connects devices behind firewalls or NAT with outbound-only agents for local access to remote services using encrypted tunnels. Enables use of SSH, RDP, VNC, web interfaces, or USB-over-IP without port forwarding or VPN. Supports multiple OS, roles, access control, and live tunnel monitoring.

LRO information
What is LRO?
LRO (Link for Remote Operations) connects two machines that sit behind NAT or a firewall, so you can reach a service on a remote machine as if it were running locally. You install a lightweight agent on each side; both agents connect outbound to the LRO relay, so no inbound ports, port forwarding or router changes are required on either end.
Each agent runs in one of three roles: client - the remote network where the service lives; support - the machine you sit at, where a local listener is opened; or dual, both at once. Once a tunnel is up you point your normal tools at a local port: ssh, an RDP or VNC viewer, a database client, a browser for a router, NAS or IoT web panel, or USB-over-IP for a remote device.
Tunnel traffic is end-to-end encrypted between the two agents with per-tunnel keys, so the relay only ever moves ciphertext it cannot read. Encryption is always on and cannot be turned off. Agents authenticate to the server with a Noise XK handshake and can be revoked or re-keyed per device.
Agents run on Linux, Windows, macOS and Android. There is also an Android SSH terminal with the agent built in, so a phone can open a tunnel and connect to it in one app. Teams and organisations get shared endpoints, per-user permissions and access control, plus live tunnel and traffic monitoring.
Pricing is a low per-agent subscription plus metered traffic, so agents that sit idle cost close to nothing. New accounts start with a free balance, which is enough to install both agents and run a first tunnel before paying.
