No Port Forwarding
Hub initiates an outbound connection to the relay server. Your router firewall stays untouched. No security hole, no configuration headache.
Access From Anywhere
The Relay
Phlix Hub keeps your server reachable from anywhere — without opening ports, without dynamic DNS, without a third-party cloud. Zero-config. SSL encrypted. Your server, in your pocket, always.
SSL Encrypted
Every byte tunneled through Hub is TLS encrypted. Certificate pinning on clients. Your media habits stay private — even from your ISP.
Zero Config
Enable Hub in the admin panel. Get a permanent relay URL. Share it with your household. Done. No certificates to manage, no DNS to update.
Bandwidth Efficient
Hub only tunnels control traffic and media metadata. Direct streaming when on the same network — Hub handles only the relay portion when you are remote. No double data tax.
Self-Hosted Option
Run your own relay server. The Hub protocol is open source — deploy it on any VPS for complete control over your relay infrastructure with no third-party dependency.
Works With Everything
Every Phlix client — web, mobile, TV — automatically uses Hub when remote. No app configuration, no separate login. Your library just works, wherever you are.
Enable the Relay
Go to Settings → Hub → Enable. That is the entire configuration.
