ProxiPort

A self-hosted remote-management server. ProxiPort gives you a small REST API, an SSH-over-WebSocket tunnel transport, and an agent that idles on a remote machine and brings tunnels up on demand. It is fully open source, top to bottom — no proprietary plugin host, no closed frontend, no capability gates.

The ProxiPort inventory page after a few agents have connected.

ProxiPort is maintained by Proximile LLC and licensed under AGPL-3.0-or-later.

Try the public demo

A live demo runs at https://demo.proxiport.net/. Sign in with demo / demo — the SPA login page shows the same banner. Three pre-registered agents appear in Inventory. The demo guest has a read-only profile and a small set of admin-only endpoints (user management, agent-credential listing, request-IP echo) are walled off at the edge, so it's safe to poke at without exposing operator-side state. The whole DB and agent fleet reset on the half-hour.

The demo is for evaluation only; do not rely on it. To run your own server, see Install.

Why it exists

The upstream rport project was MIT-licensed when CloudRadar GmbH released it in 2020 and remained MIT under RealVNC Limited's stewardship through 2023. In September 2023 RealVNC closed the source. The community fork openrport carried the FOSS lineage forward for about eighteen months and has been effectively unmaintained since mid-2025.

ProxiPort continues that work. We:

  • removed the closed-source plugin scaffolding (plus/) and every capability gate it fed,
  • wrote a new SvelteKit frontend from scratch to replace the proprietary Vue/Nuxt SPA the upstream shipped only as compiled bundles, and
  • rebranded the tree so users do not confuse this with either the RealVNC closed product or the now-stale openrport fork.

The REST API, the chisel-based SSH-over-WebSocket transport, the agent protocol, and the operational model are all kept as-is — they are the value of the original project and we are not trying to rewrite them.

See origin for the full provenance and a precise statement of what was and was not forked from upstream.
