ProxyBox Zero

What it does

ProxyBox Zero turns local USB and network devices into secure HTTPS API endpoints that web apps and AI agents can use. Need to print? Just POST to a single endpoint from your browser or backend. No local print drivers and no weird browser workarounds. Use it on your local network, or securely from anywhere. Your devices stay local and do not need to be exposed directly to the internet.

ProxyBox Zero turns local devices — printers, scales, file shares — into secure HTTPS API endpoints. Access from your network or anywhere via encrypted tunnel.

ProxyBox Zero turns every local device — printers, scales, whether connected via USB or network — into a secure HTTPS API endpoint. Access them from your local network, or from anywhere on the internet through an encrypted tunnel. Every printer on your network becomes a secure REST endpoint. Your cloud ERP, your SaaS app, a scheduled job, or a one-line curl can dispatch a print in a single HTTPS request. No drivers, no plugins, no middleware. Carbon is the open-source manufacturing ERP — an API-first platform unifying ERP, MES, and QMS for discrete manufacturers. Carbon supports printing on its platform with the Carbon Bond — its own edition of ProxyBox — so any Carbon instance can drive…from pbxz.io

  SMTP Tunnel – A SOCKS5 proxy disguised as email traffic to bypass DPIJan 2026 · github.com · ▲140

  A fast SOCKS5 proxy that tunnels your traffic through what looks like normal SMTP email, bypassing Deep Packet Inspection firewalls. How it works: - Client runs a local SOCKS5 proxy (127.0.0.1:1080) - Traffic is sent to server disguised as SMTP (EHLO, STARTTLS, AUTH) - DPI sees legitimate email session, not a VPN/proxy Features: - One-liner install on any Linux VPS - Multi-user with per-user secrets and IP whitelists - Auto-generated client packages (just double-click to run) - Auto-reconnect on connection loss - Works with any app that supports SOCKS5 Tech: Python/asyncio, TLS…

  I built a smart proxy so your coding agent can run looseJul 2026 · trollbridge.dev · ▲14

  The only way to go fast is full YOLO mode in your coding agent. I've got the local sandbox figured out (pro tip: Incus VMs work great) but I wanted to keep my agents from doing things like inadvertently blowing up my cloud services or chasing a prompt to POST to some random website. I struggle most with this on my side projects where my permission model isn't quite as robust as it is at the office. I started with a firewall on the Incus container but every time the agent needed access to something new, I was poking more holes in it - and it didn't differentiate between HTTP verbs. I've been…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
