proxynt

ProxyNT is a reverse proxy server that can expose a local server to the internet through NATs and firewalls

Features

Open port mapping via browser anytime and anywhere
Encrypted transmission between public network server and local network client via WebSocket
Few dependencies, one-click installation via pip
Stable, automatically reconnect, and already in production environment
Support for rate limiting

Common Scenarios

Hosting website server at home
Managing IoT devices

Installation

pip install -U proxynt

Example: Accessing an Internal Network Machine via SSH

Suppose the public server's IP is 192.168.9.224.

1. Create `config_s.json` file on the public network machine

config_s.json content:

{
  "port": 18888,
  "password": "helloworld",
  "path": "/websocket_path",
  "admin": {
    "enable": true,  
    "admin_password": "new_password"  
  }
}

Then start: nt_server -c config_s.json

Explanation:

port: Listening port
password: Connection password
path: WebSocket path
admin: Management page configuration (optional)
admin.enable: Whether to enable management page
admin.admin_password: Management password

2. Create `config_c.json` file on the local network computer that needs to be accessed

config_c.json content:

{
  "server": {
    "url": "ws://192.168.9.224:18888/websocket_path",
    "password": "helloworld"
  },
  "client_name": "home_pc"
}

Then start: nt_client -c config_c.json

Explanation:

server: Configuration of the server to be connected, including port, IP address, whether to use HTTPS, password, and WebSocket path.
client_name: Client name, needs to be unique.
client: Empty array.

3. Open the server webpage `http://192.168.9.224:18888/websocket_path/admin` and add a port:

VWCvq.md.png

Explanation: The management page path is WebSocket path + /admin .

4. Configuration succeeded, use SSH to connect:

ssh -oPort=12222 test@192.168.9.224

    }
  ],
  "client_name": "ubuntu1",  // Client name, must be unique
  "log_file": "/var/log/nt/nt.log"  // Path to log file
}

Server config_c.json

{
    "port": 18888,  // Listening port
    "password": "helloworld",  // Password
    "path": "/websocket_path",  // WebSocket path
    "log_file": "/var/log/nt/nt.log",  // Path to log file
    "admin": {  
        "enable": true,  // Whether to enable admin page
        "admin_password": "new_password"  // Password for admin page
    }
}
