Hi HN, I have been messing around with WebRTC for a few years now but when it comes to the TURN server I never quite got to my gold standard of free, self-hosted and open source. I decided to give it a go using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's free tier, meaning that my total spend got down to domain name hosting. I know plenty of people have been burnt by Oracle in the past, but I have had servers running on the free tier for 5 years now without so much as a hiccup. Regardless, the concepts will be the same using any cloud based server. This is the first time I've written up an end-to-end…

A few days ago, I created a simple service for my WebRTC Project: https://github.com/miroslavpejic85/mirotalk to test if the STUN/TURN servers are working properly. After installing and configuring a STUN/TURN server, most of the developers that are new to this stuff will ask themselves, how do I know if it's working properly? So I made a snippet :) ``` Test Stun/Turn Servers Test Ice Servers The STUN server is NOT reachable! The TURN server is NOT reachable! const Ice = document.getElementById('ice'); const IP = document.getElementById('ip'); const Stun =…

Hey HN! I’ve written a bunch of WebSocket servers over the years to do simple things like state synchronization, WebRTC signaling, and notifying a client when a backend job was run. I realized that if I had a simple way to create a private, temporary, mini-redis that the client could talk to directly, it would save a lot of time. So we created DriftDB. In addition to the open source server that you can run yourself, we also provide https://jamsocket.live where you can use an instance we host on Cloudflare’s edge (~13ms round trip latency from my home in NY). You may have seen my…

Hey there HN! ruroco (RUn RemOte COmmand) is a tool that lets you execute commands on a server by sending UDP packets (instead of knocking on ports). the tool consist of 3 binaries: - client -> runs on your notebook/computer and sends the UDP packets - server -> receives the UDP packets and makes sure that they are valid - commander -> runs the command encoded by the data of the UDP packet if it's valid The commands are configured on the server side, so the client does not define what is going to be executed, it only picks from existing commands. I use this tool to open up the SSH port…

WebRTC’s capabilities are amazing, but the setup headaches (signaling, connection/ICE failures, patchwork docs) can kill momentum. That’s why we built PulseBeam—a batteries-included WebRTC platform designed for developers who just want real-time features to work. What’s different? Built-in Signaling Built-in TURN Time limited JWT auth (serverless for production or use our endpoint for testing) Client and server SDKs included Free and open-source core If you’ve used libraries like PeerJS, PulseBeam should feel like home. We’re inspired by its simplicity. We’re currently in a…

Hey HN! I just released weron, a P2P VPN that uses WebRTC for transport which I've been working on for the last couple of months. It can create both layer 2/Ethernet and layer 3/IP overlay networks, and the underlying transport layer can be easily embedded to write your own P2P apps with Go. Compared to for example Tailscale, WireGuard and ZeroTier, its much harder to block on a network level and also significantly easier to set up, while not sacrifing much performance. I'd love to get your feedback :)

I created Firezone to make it easier to host and manage your own WireGuard VPN server. While working at Cisco as a security automation engineer I experienced a lot of unnecessary pain managing secure network-level access into our cloud VPCs. I tried OpenVPN Access Server but I personally feel that security software should be open source to be validated (and improved) by the community. I discovered WireGuard and quickly fell in love with it, but soon found managing the peer configs to be a bit tedious and error-prone. So I built some convenience functionality on top, added a simple Web UI,…

Hi HN! I’m so excited to show my first open-source project and first post here. I initially started this project to learn Go language, it is an experimental project. The main goal is to track the adventure of a WebRTC stream from start to finish, by debugging the project or tracking the output at console. By trying out this project, you will deep dive into the steps which are taken while starting up a WebRTC session, and more. It consists of a web UI (TypeScript) and a server back-end (Golang) projects. They can run on Docker containers, in development mode or production mode, you can find…

https://github.com/TomasHubelbauer/webrtc-data-channel-demo Hi! I made this GitHub repo to try and show WebRTC data channels and the connection establishment flow in a different way from what I was able to find online. My aim with this repository is to make WebRTC data channels accessible to any web developer by showcasing offerer and answerer separately for total novices (makes it much clearer what's going on on each end of the connection) as well as combined approach where a peer can be both offerer and answerer. I use postMessage instead of a real signalling channel,…

From the cryptic terminal commands to the innumerable ways to shoot yourself in the foot, I always struggled to use TLS certificates. I love how much easier (and cheaper) Let's Encrypt made it to get certificates, but there are still plenty of things to struggle with. That's why we built Relay: a free, browser-based tool that streamlines the ACME workflow, especially for tricky setups like homelabs. Relay acts as a secure intermediary between your ACME client and public certificate authorities like Let's Encrypt. Some ways Relay provides a better experience: - really fast, streamlined…

With internet censorship and surveillance on the rise, ie; UK Online Safety Bill (July 2025) and Australia's social media legislation (Dec 2025) introducing mandatory age verification (read: initial step on the pathway to social credit), I wanted a privacy-first solution that protects browsing history from ISPs and third-party verification services, but not one that requires you to be an Einstein to deploy. This stack turns a Raspberry Pi (or any OpenWrt-compatible device) into a network-wide VPN gateway. Key features: - Firewall kill switch: VPN down = no internet (not a software rule that…
