Show HN: Malai – securely share local TCP services (database/SSH) with others

117 points

malai is a peer to peer network, and is a dead simple to share your local development HTTP server, without setting up tunnels, dealing with firewalls, or relying on cloud services.

In malai 0.2.5, we have added TCP support, which means you can expose any TCP service to others using malai, without opening the TCP service related port to Internet. With malai installed on both ends, any TCP service can be securely tunneled over it.

It can be used to secure your SSH service, or securely share your database server.

Would love feedback, questions, or ideas — thanks!

PS: We have also added `malai folder`, which lets you share (readonly) the content of a folder with others.
