Show HN: BitBang – Reach machines behind NAT from a browser, no account
BitBang CLI BitBang CLI is a single static binary remote-access multitool: open an interactive shell, browse and transfer files, and access web apps on the remote machine's network from any browser, no port forwarding, no configuring, and no account. On the machine you want to reach: curl -sSfL bitba.ng/install | sh bitbang serve serve prints a URL. Open it in any browser and you get a terminal, a file browser, and a proxy to that machine's network -- or connect from another terminal with bitbang connect <url> using the same binary.

Open it in any browser and you get a terminal, a file browser, and a proxy to that machine's network -- or connect from another terminal with bitbang connect <url> using the same binary. The connection is end-to-end encrypted and peer-to-peer; the bitba.ng server introduces the two ends, then steps aside. bitbang is a single static Go binary. It's part of the BitBang project; this whitepaper covers the design in depth.
