Web Remote Terminal

Web Remote Terminal lets you open a remote machine’s shell directly from your browser without exposing an inbound shell service. Each session generates a unique one-liner command that you run on a Linux, macOS, or Windows system. Once executed, the machine connects outbound and the terminal opens in your browser.

The generated command downloads a small launcher script, resolves a compatible WebTTY runtime, and starts an outbound rstream tunnel from the remote machine. The default Linux/macOS path uses the rstream CLI. The Windows path uses the native WebTTY runtime packaged with rstream. Browser discovery and the terminal protocol client are implemented in the public JS SDK.

Yes. The launcher scripts can be opened directly from this site, and the runtime code that executes on your machine is available in the Go and C++ SDK repositories. The browser-side WebTTY client and discovery code are also in the public JS SDK. See Inspect client code.

The browser that created the session holds the temporary access and encryption material. rstream brokers the tunnel, but cannot open the remote machine or read terminal input, output, or encrypted session logs. If you share the fullscreen session URL, treat that URL as a temporary secret.

Yes. Open the terminal in fullscreen and share that session URL with a trusted operator. The URL carries the temporary demo access material in its browser fragment, so treat it like a secret and create a new session when you no longer want it shared.

No. The public WebTTY demo can run without an account. A session token is stored locally in your browser and remains valid for 10 days. Creating a free rstream account puts WebTTY on the Basic plan, removes demo session time limits, and lets you keep using it as part of a regular rstream setup.

By using this service, you confirm you are connecting only to machines you own or have explicit permission to access, and that you abide by all relevant laws and regulations. We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, about functionality or availability, and reserve the right to suspend sessions or revoke access at our discretion.
