p2p-rtc-tunnel is a tool that creates a direct connection between two computers using WebRTC. It lets you send data between your devices without going through a server. This can help you route traffic safely and quickly, especially when you want to access a device behind a firewall or a private network.
This tool works on Windows and needs no advanced setup. You can open a secure tunnel between your computers to share files, connect apps, or test network services privately.
- Windows 10 or later (64-bit recommended)
- At least 2 GB of RAM
- 100 MB of free disk space
- Internet connection for initial setup
- A modern web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) for basic configuration
- Creates peer-to-peer tunnels using WebRTC
- Bypasses firewalls and NATs without complex setup
- Supports multiple data streams
- Simple interface for starting and stopping tunnels
- Secure connection using built-in encryption
- Works without needing a central server after connection

- By default, the program installs to your primary drive. You can use the suggested location unless you prefer otherwise.
- After installation, launch p2p-rtc-tunnel from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.
- The main window will guide you through creating a tunnel.
- You will see an option to create a new tunnel or connect to an existing one.
- To create a tunnel, enter a name or ID.
- Share this ID with the person or device you want to connect with.
On the other device, install p2p-rtc-tunnel and select "Connect to Tunnel". Enter the tunnel ID you received. This will initiate a peer-to-peer connection.
Behind the scenes, p2p-rtc-tunnel sets up a WebRTC connection. This means your computers exchange connection information through a signaling server, but data flows directly between them. This reduces delays and improves privacy.
The software handles NAT traversal, which means it can connect two devices even if they are behind routers or firewalls.
p2p-rtc-tunnel encrypts all traffic passing through the tunnel. Only the connected devices have the keys needed to read the data. No third party can access your data during transit.
You don't need to configure firewall rules manually. The software uses standard WebRTC ports, which most networks allow by default.
- Securely accessing files on a home PC from the office.
- Testing web services on a device that does not have a public IP.
- Sharing a private network resource during remote work.
- Creating private data channels between custom applications.
- If the connection fails, check that both devices have internet access.
- Make sure the tunnel ID is correct and matches on both ends.
- Restart the application if it stops responding.
- Disable VPNs if they block WebRTC traffic.
- Windows Defender or other firewalls may ask for permission; allow traffic for p2p-rtc-tunnel.
