Tunnelling TCP through a file

In plain words

Tunnelling TCP through a file is a program that routes TCP connections through a shared file, enabling users to bypass firewall restrictions, tunnel connections through RDP similar to SSH tunnels, or expose local web servers. It manages file size by restarting the shared file every 10 MB, supports synchronization between both sides that can be started in any order, and delivers optimized performance reaching 800 Mbps on a Gigabit LAN or 108 Mbps through RDP tunneling.

  Sping – An HTTP/TCP latency tool that's easy on the eye2025 · dseltzer.gitlab.io · ▲178

  I've frequently found myself using [nvitop](https://github.com/XuehaiPan/nvitop) to diagnose GPU/CPU contention issues.
