In today's fast-paced, security-driven environment, businesses require efficient and reliable remote access solutions. To address this need, ShellHub Enterprise introduces a groundbreaking feature: the HTTP Tunnel. Designed to simplify and secure access to HTTP services running on remote devices, this innovation eliminates complex configurations and enhances operational security.

What is the ShellHub Enterprise HTTP Tunnel?

The HTTP Tunnel allows seamless and secure access to web-based applications hosted on devices running the ShellHub Agent. Unlike traditional SSH port forwarding, which requires manual setup and exposes potential vulnerabilities, the HTTP Tunnel offers an encrypted, browser-based connection that is both simple and secure. This feature is particularly beneficial for companies managing a large fleet of remote devices, ensuring quick and safe access to their web interfaces.

Key Benefits for Enterprises

  • Simplified Access: The HTTP Tunnel enables remote exposure of web applications, such as control panels and administrative dashboards, without requiring VPNs or intricate network configurations.
  • Enhanced Security: ShellHub encrypts all connections, even if the original service does not provide native encryption. This guarantees data protection against potential threats.
  • Operational Flexibility: Whether accessing IoT device APIs, testing webhooks, or performing real-time monitoring, the HTTP Tunnel adapts to various business needs.

How Does It Work?

Setting up an HTTP Tunnel is straightforward. From the ShellHub interface, users select the target device, specify the host address and port where the service runs, and define the tunnel’s lifespan (either time-limited or permanent). Once configured, ShellHub generates a secure URL that can be accessed directly via a web browser, streamlining device management and monitoring.
