Tried it out and it's amazing!

I'm a freelancer working with different clients with a mix of the technologies you listed (Docker/Kubernetes) and I'm using Tailscale for mostly personal use-cases, so this hits all the right spots.

Up until now I proxied most of my stuff on a macOS client via "SSH Tunnel Manager", which has quite a clunky UI, and whenever I have to reconfigure something there the current feedback of the current connection state isn't always right. I just moved all those settings to XPipe, and it works like a charm.

Previously I also used the same solution for accessing some internal websites via a combination of the SSH tunnels + /etc/hosts entries + header rewrites, which depending on the complexity of the websites sometimes works great and sometimes doesn't at all. With XPipe I was easily able to set up a SOCKS proxy, which I previously gave up on trying to figure out. Paired that with FoxyProxy on Firefox and now all the websites work like a charm!



Great that it works for you. I also struggled a lot with setting up various different types of tunnels initially, especially more complex ones. That was one of the motivations why I started developing it.
