What you get with TunnelBuddy

  • • Use your own or a buddy's home connection from anywhere.
  • • System proxy configured via a PAC file when possible; fall back to browser-only proxy on stricter setups.
  • • Always peer-to-peer – if P2P fails, it simply doesn't connect.

How hosts stay in control

  • • Short-lived pairing codes, valid for about one hour.
  • • Active connections are capped at roughly one hour.
  • • Hosts can stop sharing at any time from inside the app.
  • • Guests only reach the public internet – local network access is blocked.
