Holesail is the simplest way to expose your local apps, games, and development servers to anyone—without port forwarding, VPNs, or complex setup. Share any localhost service through a secure peer-to-peer tunnel using a single connection key. Host websites, play LAN-style multiplayer, collaborate on dev environments, or access your machine remotely in seconds. All traffic is end-to-end encrypted, stays directly between peers and never touches a server.

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m super excited to finally launch Holesail on Product Hunt today.
Holesail started with a simple idea: connecting apps and devices directly should be as easy as sharing a key. No port forwarding, no VPN setups, no servers in the middle. Just true peer-to-peer connectivity that “just works.”
With Holesail, you can instantly expose local services, collaborate over LAN-like connections, power real-time multiplayer experiences or bind your localhost to someone else's —without touching your router or worrying about networking complexity.
This launch means a lot to me. I’ve rebuilt the platform multiple times, optimized the P2P engine, and tested it across everything from web apps to games. Seeing people use Holesail to solve their own networking pain points has been incredibly motivating.
If you have any questions, ideas, or want to integrate Holesail into your project, I’m here all day.
Thanks so much for checking it out and supporting the launch! 🚀💙

A great example of the power of P2P and how indie developers can take advantage of years of prior art (DAT/Hyper*/Pear/Bare/Holepunch) to build disruptive services and products. Awesome job, supersu!
Holesail is so great that I made an account here just to review it
Beyond how fascinating the tech itself is, its constantly useful for me for using my Jellyfin server outside my local network securely. Even works shockingly well with very low bandwidth, and as somebody with a cheap data plan I appreciate that there doesn't seem to be much overhead involved in maintaining the tunnel. Cant recommend enough

Thanks @sam_luurtsema , its all peer to peer so there is always zero overhead from Holesail itself.

This has literally already become an indispensable part of my workflow. Makes all the other “solutions” to connecting my devices look pointless.
I’ve been following this project for a really long time and I’m stoked to see it officially launching into the wild 👏🏻

That looks cool. :) I love how P2P is on the rise again. Shared in our channels :) 🙏
Thanks! @lev_kerzhner 🙏
Really appreciate you sharing it, P2P is the future for privacy and self hosting.

@supersu Totally agree, Jack Dorsey P2P chat app was such a refreshing take on it
