Cloud Tunnel

Control any remote device as if it's on your local network

wendy cloud tunnel opens a secure, encrypted tunnel to a cloud-enrolled device. Once connected, all standard wendy device commands work exactly as they do over USB or LAN — regardless of where the device physically is.

Usage

wendy cloud tunnel

If you have more than one online device, you'll see a picker. Select the device and the tunnel opens immediately.

What Happens

  1. The CLI authenticates to Wendy Cloud using your user certificate
  2. The cloud broker signals your device to open a session
  3. The device authenticates with its own X.509 certificate
  4. A bidirectional encrypted channel is established between you and the device

Neither side needs an open inbound port. The broker coordinates the handshake; all data flows end-to-end over mTLS.

After Connecting

With the tunnel open, use any device command normally:

wendy run           # deploy an app
wendy device logs   # stream live logs
wendy device update # push an OS update

Prerequisites

  • Signed in with wendy auth login
  • At least one device provisioned and online
