Remote access

Phlix Hub

Your server, your network, but accessible from anywhere. No port forwarding, no UPnP, no compromises.

What is Phlix Hub?

Phlix Hub is a cloud directory and reverse-tunnel relay that makes your home server accessible from anywhere. Sign in once, and all your registered servers appear in your Hub dashboard — even if they're behind NAT.

The relay uses encrypted tunnels, so your traffic stays private. You can self-host the Hub, or use the public instance operated by the Phlix team.

Key Features

Encrypted Tunnels

All traffic through the relay is encrypted. Your media stays private, even when tunneling through a third-party relay.

Automatic Reconnection

If your internet drops, the client automatically reconnects when service is restored. No manual intervention needed.

Hub Mode in Clients

Roku, Windows, and mobile apps have built-in Hub mode. Sign in once, see all your servers, switch between them instantly.

Self-Hostable

Don't trust the public relay? Run your own Hub instance. The code is open source and the setup is documented.

How It Works

  1. Register your server — Point your Phlix server at your Hub URL and authenticate.
  2. Hub maintains the tunnel — The server opens an outbound WebSocket to the Hub and keeps it alive.
  3. Connect from anywhere — When you're away, clients connect to the Hub, which proxies traffic through the tunnel.
  4. No ports opened — Everything is outbound from your server. No router configuration needed.

Public Hub vs. Self-Hosted

Public Hub

Free to use. Operated by the Phlix team. Just sign up and register your server. Best for most users.

Self-Hosted Hub

Run your own relay. Full control, no third party. Requires a publicly reachable server to host the Hub itself.
