Hey,I've been working on Shield CLI, an open-source tool that creates encrypted tunnels to your internal services and makes them accessible directly in the browser. The thing that sets it apart from tools like ngrok or frp: it doesn't just expose a port. It actually renders RDP desktops, VNC sessions, and SSH terminals as HTML5 in the browser. You don't need an RDP client, a VNC viewer, or even a terminal emulator — everything runs in the browser tab. Highlights: Written in Go, single binary, runs on macOS/Linux/Windows Docker support for easy deployment Web UI dashboard to manage your tunnels Apache 2.0 license — fully open source Encrypted tunnels by default Use cases I built it for: Accessing my home server's desktop remotely without setting up a VPN Giving temporary SSH access to someone without sharing keys or VPN configs Quick remote support for family members (just send them a link) It's still a relatively young project, so I'd love to hear what features matter most to you.
