Holesail
P2P tunnels for instant access.
Holesail creates peer-to-peer tunnels so you can reach any device or service directly — no port forwarding, no VPN, and no cloud relay. Share a local server with a single connection key and connect from anywhere.
One key instead of an open port
Run Holesail next to any local service and it prints a connection key. Anyone holding that key reaches the service from their own machine. Nothing listens on a public port, and no server sits between the two ends.

# share a local service

# connect from another machine
holesail <connection-key>Built on Pear
Holesail finds peers through HyperDHT and connects them with Hyperswarm, the same building blocks behind every Pear app. Each tunnel is hole-punched straight between the two machines and encrypted end to end.
Why peer-to-peer
No port forwarding and no firewall changes on either side
No VPN account or cloud relay between the two machines
Every tunnel is encrypted end to end between the peers
