Telebit

| Telebit Client | Telebit Relay | Telebit Mgmt |

A secure, end-to-end Encrypted tunnel.

Because friends don't let friends localhost.

Usage

telebit --env ./.env --verbose

Command-line flags or .env may be used.

# --acme-agree
export ACME_AGREE=true
# --acme-email
export ACME_EMAIL=johndoe@example.com
# --vendor-id
export VENDOR_ID=example.com
# --secret
export SECRET=QQgPyfzVdxJTcUc1ceot3pgJFKtWSHMQ
# --tunnel-relay
export TUNNEL_RELAY_URL=https://tunnel.example.com/
# --tls-locals
export TLS_LOCALS=https:*:3000

See ./telebit --help for all options.
See examples/client.env for detail explanations.

Build

goreleaser --rm-dist --skip-publish

Install Go

Installs Go to ~/.local/opt/go for MacOS and Linux:

curl -fsS https://webinstall.dev/golang | bash

Windows 10:

curl.exe -fsSA "MS" https://webinstall.dev/golang | powershell

Note: The minimum required go version is shown in go.mod. DO NOT use with GOPATH!

Building Telebit

All dependencies are included, at the correct version in the ./vendor directory.

go generate ./...

CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -mod vendor -o telebit-linux ./cmd/telebit/*.go
CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=darwin GOARCH=amd64 go build -mod vendor -o telebit-macos ./cmd/telebit/*.go
CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -mod vendor -o telebit-windows-debug.exe ./cmd/telebit/*.go
CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -mod vendor -ldflags "-H windowsgui" -o telebit-windows.exe ./cmd/telebit/*.go

The binary can be built with VENDOR_ID and CLIENT_SECRET built into the binary. You can also change the serviceName and serviceDescription at build time. See examples/run-as-client.sh.

Local Web Application

Currently only raw TCP is tunneled.

This means that either the application must handle and terminate encrypted TLS connections, or use HTTP (instead of HTTPS). This will be available in the next release.

mkdir -p tmp-app
pushd tmp-app/

cat << EOF > index.html
Hello, World!

python3 -m http.server 3000
