October update
by Karolis RusenasOctober was quite an interesting month. Due to new a niche (home automation) that I decided to approach or at least experiment with, I have managed to add several features that I have wanted to see from the beginning in Webhook Relay:
- TLS tunnels (https://webhookrelay.com/v1/guide/tls-tunnels.html) that enable secure connection from the browser straight to the user's agent. While it did support HTTPS before, with those tunnels our servers are doing the termination so in theory we could be forced to spy on customers, now we just can't :)
- Custom domains enables users to specify their own domain names (https://webhookrelay.com/v1/guide/http-tunnels.html#Custom-domains) which is quite useful and I have already got my first users enjoying this feature.
- Hass.io add-on: https://webhookrelay.com/v1/guide/home-automation. Probably the easiest way to access your Home Assistant without configuring NAT, firewalls. The challenge with this add-on was that it needs configuration to be received in a special way and absolute priority here is privacy, hence the focus on TLS tunnels.
All in all, I think October so far is really productive. Currently exploring Knative (https://cloud.google.com/knative/) as it might benefit a lot from a good integration with a tunneling service.
