OpenNode Tunnel Client and Server

OpenNode is a tool designed to help developers publish their local servers on the internet. It utilizes Socket.IO for real-time communication between the client and server, and Fastify to handle HTTP requests. The client can register with the server, establish a unique subdomain, and receive HTTP requests via Socket.IO.

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• npm

installation

to install speed-tunnel-clientyou can run :

```
npm i -g speed-tunnel-client

```

Usage

• Run the client with the following command:

  speed-tunnel-client star tunnel -p <local-port> -s <subdomain>

  for example :

  speed-tunnel-client start tunnel --port 5500 --subdomain pinky
  

Replace <local-port> and <subdomain> with the desired values. If successful, the server will respond with the unique subdomain where the local server is accessible.

Features

• Socket.IO: Creates a persistent connection between the client and server.
• Fastify Integration: Efficiently handles HTTP requests with high performance.
• Custom Subdomains: Each client can be assigned a unique subdomain.
• Automatic Reconnection: Supports reconnection in case of disconnection.

🚨 Warning

Security Risks and Usage Conditions

• Exposing Local Servers: By using OpenNode, you are opening up a local server to the internet, which poses inherent security risks. Ensure that your local server has proper security configurations to prevent unauthorized access or data breaches.
• Sensitive Data: Avoid transmitting sensitive or personal data through the tunnel unless you are certain the data is encrypted and the application is secure.
• Responsibility: Users are responsible for securing their local environment and must be aware that any exposed service is potentially accessible by anyone with knowledge of the public URL.
• Production Use: This tool is primarily intended for development and testing purposes. Do not use it to expose production environments without thoroughly understanding the security implications.
• IP Rate Limiting: OpenNode does not inherently implement rate-limiting. You should implement your own rate-limiting mechanism if you expect to receive significant traffic to avoid unintended overloads or abuse.
