Tela

Tela is a connectivity fabric. Three small programs (a client, an agent, and a hub) let one machine reach a TCP service on another through an encrypted WireGuard tunnel, without either side opening an inbound port or running anything as root. The same three binaries scale from a single laptop reaching a single home server up to a fleet of machines managed by a team, without switching tools.

Solo Remote Access

One agent, one hub, one client. Minutes from download to first connection.

Personal Cloud

Several agents at home and work, file sharing, a desktop client.

Team Cloud

Named identities, per-machine permissions, pairing codes, audit history.

Fleet

Multiple hubs, centralized identities, agents self-updating via release channels.

TelaVisor

TelaVisor is the desktop client for Tela. It wraps the CLI in a window with menus, panels, and a file browser, so you can connect to machines, manage hubs, browse shares, and administer remote agents without opening a terminal. Runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
