Tunnex launches tomorrow — ask me anything

Hey Product Hunt Tunnex goes live tomorrow (May 24th). I built it to solve a problem I kept hitting myself backing up self-hosted Postgres and MongoDB without leaving plaintext dumps on disk or passwords in shell history. A few things I'm happy to answer before launch: - How the AES-256-GCM streaming encryption works (no temp files ever touch disk)
- Why it's a desktop app and not a CLI or cloud service
- How SSH tunneling + Docker container detection works under the hood
- Roadmap what's coming after 0.1.x Also genuinely interested in: how are you currently handling ad-hoc database backups for self-hosted setups? Download & source will be at tunnex.biz tomorrow. Free, MIT licensed.
