What the Hub does

The Phlix Hub is a cloud directory + reverse-tunnel relay. When your server can't be reached directly (behind NAT, firewall, CGNAT), the Hub establishes an outbound tunnel and maintains a rendezvous point so your clients can connect anywhere in the world.

Sign in once. The Hub handles NAT traversal automatically. Your media library becomes accessible from any network.

Self-host or use the public hub

The public Hub at hub.phlix.io is free to use. If you need more control, the Hub is self-hostable — deploy phlix-hub on your own infrastructure and point your server at your own instance.

Hub mode in clients

All official clients support Hub mode: instead of connecting directly to your server IP, they connect through the Hub using your Hub credentials. The connection is established from your server to the Hub — no inbound ports needed on your router.
