For individuals and hobbyists

Your home server, online without opening ports.

A NAS, a game server, a personal site or home automation. Reach it from outside without touching your router, and without worrying about CGNAT or dynamic IPs. Zorven runs on your own server, so traffic never passes through a third-party cloud.

What you can do

Skip the scary part of home networking

Instead of fighting port forwarding, static IPs and firewall rules, publish with a single command.

Publish without opening ports

The client connects outward, so no port forwarding is needed on your router. It also works behind CGNAT or a dynamic IP.

Desktop app and one-command setup

A desktop app for Windows, and a one-command install for macOS, Linux and Windows. For uninterrupted operation the client can be installed as a background service.

Free address, automatic HTTPS

Every tunnel gets an name--slug.zorven.app address with an automatic certificate. Bringing your own domain is available from the Hobby plan.

Game servers

Share game servers like Minecraft with friends over raw TCP and UDP tunnels. A game-server status indicator (gameprobe) in the panel shows whether your server is up.

Remote desktop and terminal

Terminal and screen access to your own computer from the panel. On by default in the desktop app; off by default in the CLI and service mode, where you enable it with --enable-terminal and --enable-screen.

Private network: only you get in

With zorven connect you use your devices on your own private network without exposing them to the internet. This is available on Team and above.

Visitor login and restrictions

Put a password (Basic Auth) on a tunnel, or require visitors to sign in with Google or GitHub. IP allowlists are available on Pro and above.

Start free

The Free plan costs $0 and needs no credit card. If you outgrow it, Hobby is $5 per month.

Web door for game servers and SSH

Do not leave your Minecraft-style game server or SSH open to everyone. Your friend signs in on the door URL with a password or Google / GitHub, and only their IP address reaches the port for the duration you choose (1 hour, 12 hours, 24 hours or 7 days). Connections without a grant are silently dropped. Pro and above.

Your mailbox on your phone

Use your platform mailbox in the Gmail app (Android and iOS, "Personal (IMAP)"), Apple Mail or Outlook. The app password you create in the dashboard is shown once and you can revoke it any time. Sending to external addresses follows the same plan rule as webmail.

Branded login page

If you protect your site with a password or Google / GitHub, visitors see a Zorven-styled, mobile-friendly login page instead of the browser password popup.

Real commands

From home to the internet in three steps

Install, register your token, publish a port. On Windows you can also do all of it from the desktop app without touching a terminal.

macOS and Linux

$ curl -fsSL https://zorven.app/install.sh | sudo bash

Windows (PowerShell)

PS> irm https://zorven.app/install.ps1 | iex

Register the token you get from the panel

$ zorven authtoken <token>

Publish the service on local port 8080

$ zorven http 8080
The tunnel opens and your name--slug.zorven.app address goes live over HTTPS

Run the client as a background service

$ sudo zorven service install --token zrv_live_...
$ sudo zorven service start
$ zorven service status

For game servers you pick a raw TCP/UDP tunnel in the panel. See the docs for details.
