Sign-in callbacks land nowhere
A tool on the remote machine opens a sign-in page. Your browser is here; the callback points at a localhost over there. The flow stalls and the device never finishes provisioning.
Private · End-to-end encrypted · Application layer
Your remote machine's localhost, right here.
Sign-ins and dev servers on your remote machine, open in the browser in front of you. Private and secure at the application layer, not a traditional VPN.

Waiting on localhost:8976/callback
private overlay · nothing exposed
Here · your browser
Signed in. The callback reached the remote machine.
The problem
Your devices are connected. Their browsers are not.
The app you built is out of reach
Your dev server is listening on the remote machine's localhost. To see it you set up port forwarding again, or open a port you would rather keep closed.
How it works
Links come hither.
-
01
Put your devices on the overlay
Install HitherGate on the machine in front of you and the one you work on remotely. They join a private network that only your devices are on.
-
02
Work the way you already do
Run your tools, start your dev servers and kick off sign-ins on the remote machine. Nothing about your workflow changes.
-
03
The link goes where it belongs
HitherGate forwards links between the two machines, so sign-ins complete on the remote one and its localhost apps open in your browser.
For teams
Built for teams that work on remote machines.
No ports exposed
Traffic stays on the private overlay between your devices. Nothing is published to the public internet.
No forwarding rules to maintain
No tunnel to set up per port and per session, and none to remember to tear down.
Works alongside your corporate VPN
HitherGate runs at the application layer, so it sits beside the VPN your company already uses. Nothing to replace, no switching between VPNs, and IT keeps the setup it already trusts.
