on 02025-07-27“In 2023 it’s hard to connect two devices directly. #Dumb-pipe punches through NATs, using on-the-fly node identifiers. It even keeps your machines connected as network conditions change. (...) Dumb pipes are #Iroh Connections. The dumbpipe tool is a 200-line wrapper around the iroh Rust crate. You can use the iroh Endpoint to create a connection to use as a dumb pipe in your own app. (...) These dumb pipes use QUIC over a magic socket. It may be dumb, but it still has all the features of a full #QUIC connection: UDP-based, stream-multiplexing and encrypted. Besides using the multiplexed streams you can also use multiple connections each with their own ALPN.” Looks similar to magic-wormhole. #privacy #security #networking #tunnels
