Remote Access
Phlix Hub
Your server, anywhere. No port forwarding, no third-party tunnels, no complexity.
What is Phlix Hub?
Phlix Hub is a cloud directory service with a reverse-tunnel relay built in. It solves the NAT traversal problem so you can access your home server from anywhere — without opening ports on your router.
Sign in once to the Hub, and your devices find and connect to your server through the relay. It's like having a VPN to your home network, without the VPN configuration.
Key Features
Single Sign-On
Sign in once to the Hub, and all your Phlix clients authenticate automatically. No separate accounts per device.
Reverse Tunnel Relay
Your server initiates an outbound connection to the Hub. NAT doesn't matter. No router configuration needed.
Self-Hostable
Run your own Hub instance if you prefer not to use the public one. Full control, no dependency on external services.
Multi-Server Support
Manage multiple Phlix servers from one Hub account. Perfect for home and vacation home, or home and office.
How It Works
1
Server connects outbound
Your Phlix server establishes an outbound WebSocket connection to the Hub. This bypasses NAT because the server is the one initiating the connection.
2
Client authenticates
Your Phlix client signs in to the Hub with your account credentials. The Hub verifies the session and knows which server you own.
3
Hub relays traffic
The Hub relays requests from your client to your server through the established tunnel. Neither end needs to be publicly accessible.
Self-Hosted Hub
Deploy your own Hub instance. You control the data and the infrastructure.
- ✓ Full data ownership
- ✓ No dependency on external services
- ✓ Custom domain branding
- ✓ Scales to many users
