Shurli just
connects.
Connect your devices directly - no accounts, no cloud, no subscriptions.
Works even when your network blocks everything.
From zero to connected in 60 seconds
Two commands on each device. No accounts to create, no keys to exchange manually, no ports to forward.
How it works
Three steps. Both devices end up in each other's authorized_keys. That's it.
Initialize
Run shurli init on your server. It creates a unique identity and comes online, ready to accept connections.
Invite
Run shurli invite to get a one-time code. Send it however you like - text, email, Signal, carrier pigeon.
Connect
Run shurli join on your laptop. Both devices trust each other automatically. Access any service through the encrypted connection.
Works Through Anything
5G, hotel WiFi, corporate networks, double NAT - if your device has internet, Shurli finds a way through. Tested on the networks that block everything.
One File, Nothing Else
Download one file. Run it. Done. No containers, no runtimes, no databases to set up. Works offline after the initial pairing.
You Control Who Connects
A simple file on your device decides who gets in. No accounts to manage, no tokens to rotate, no company in the middle. Your network, your rules.
Two Commands to Connect
One command on your server, one on your laptop. Share a code, done. From zero to connected in about 60 seconds.
Access Any Service
Remote desktop, file servers, databases, web apps - anything running on your home network, accessible from anywhere as if you were on the same WiFi.
Stays Connected
Network drops? It reconnects automatically. Bad config? It rolls back. Shurli monitors itself and recovers without you lifting a finger.
Direct when possible, relayed when necessary
Shurli tries to connect your devices directly. When the network won't allow it, traffic flows through an encrypted relay, which never sees your data.
Install
