gsocket

The Global Socket library allows two programs to communicate securely regardless of their IP addresses or locations by using a shared secret. It derives temporary session keys and IDs locally and routes connections through the free GSRN cloud service, which only sees encrypted traffic. The secret never leaves the workstation, ensuring privacy.

gsocket is the core tool that makes existing programs accessible worldwide by replacing the IP layer with the Gsocket layer. Client connections to hostnames ending in '*.gsocket' are redirected via GSRN to the target program. This is ideal for accessing services behind firewalls or NAT.

The toolkit includes complementary tools like gs-netcat for encrypted shells and proxies, gs-sftp for secure file transfers, gs-mount for remote filesystems, and blitz for fast file copying between workstations.

gsocket locally generates session keys and IDs from a shared secret, connecting programs via the GSRN relay network independent of IP or location. Once linked, it negotiates a secure end-to-end TLS connection. The GSRN handles routing but cannot decrypt traffic as the secret stays local. Tools like gs-netcat enhance this with features like AES-256 encryption, TOR support, and protocol forwarding.
