A unix pipe between computers
$ curl -sL https://www.dumbpipe.dev/install.sh | sh
get dumbpipe with a single command on two computers, connect them & pipe data from one machine to the other. No accounts. No configuration.
Receiver
$ ./dumbpipe listen
using secret key 23ryys7pgvjrr57pcrvyivdrhvqyykg2tv3leou5grm66xfd7zzq
Listening. To connect, use:
./dumbpipe connect nodeecsxraxjtqtneathgplh6d5nb2rsnxpfulmkec2rvhwv3hh6m4rdgaibamaeqwjaegplgayaycueiom6wmbqcjqaibavg5hiaaaaaaaaaaabaau7wmbq
Sender
echo "hello" | ./dumbpipe connect nodeecsxraxjtqtneathgplh6d5nb2rsnxpfulmkec2rvhwv3hh6m4rdgaibamaeqwjaegplgayaycueiom6wmbqcjqaibavg5hiaaaaaaaaaaabaau7wmbq
This will work, regardless of where the two machines are. Dumb pipe finds a way.

Put a dumb pipe in your app
Dumb pipes are Iroh Connections. The dumbpipe tool is a 200-line wrapper around the iroh rust crate. You can use the iroh connection layer as a dumb pipe in your own app.
Sometimes you gotta relay
For somewhere around 10-20% of connections, it's simply not possible to connect two devices directly. For those cases, we use a meshed network of relay nodes to pack up UDP traffic & send it over HTTP. Sounds silly, but it works. And the magic socket handles all this under the hood.
Your own Network
The team behind number0 runs the default relay network, which has a capped bandwidth. High-throughput, authenticated relays are now available through n0des!
Need more?
Need pubsub? Data transfer? Sync? All of these are opt-in addons from iroh. But if you add these things, the pipe is no longer dumb. You decide how to feel about that.
