About:
Dumbpipe enables secure, direct Unix-style data streaming between devices without centralized servers. It creates point-to-point pipes over the internet using capabilities for access control. This allows you to connect local and remote processes as if they were on the same machine.
Key Features:
  • Direct peer-to-peer data streaming
  • Capability-based security model
  • Simple Unix pipe syntax
  • NAT traversal support
Use Cases:
  • Streaming data between servers and edge devices
  • Building ad-hoc data pipelines across machines
  • Securely piping commands or files between devices
Alternatives:
  • netcat – Dumbpipe adds NAT traversal and security capabilities that netcat lacks
  • ssh – Simpler syntax for streaming use cases without shell overhead
