SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Remote databases behind NATs or firewalls are difficult to access securely from local environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Secure gateway-based access to PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis without direct exposure
  • Map remote databases to local endpoints and connect with standard clients
  • Use Case: Development and testing against production databases without VPNs

Quick Start

Start the Pilot Protocol daemon and map a remote database endpoint using pilotctl gateway commands.

FAQPage Schema
How do I access remote databases behind a NAT or firewall without a VPN?▼

Secure remote database access without a VPN is achieved by querying databases through Pilot Protocol tunnels. This gateway-based method maps remote endpoints to local ports, allowing standard clients to connect without direct database exposure.

Can I connect to PostgreSQL and Redis using Pilot tunneling?▼

Yes, Pilot tunneling supports secure gateway-based access to PostgreSQL and Redis, along with MySQL and MongoDB. It maps these remote databases to local endpoints so you can connect using your standard database clients.

What do I need to set up secure database tunneling with Pilot?▼

To set up secure database tunneling with Pilot, you need the pilot-protocol skill, the pilotctl binary on your PATH, and a running Pilot Protocol daemon. You then use pilotctl gateway commands to map remote endpoints.

Is there a way to test against production databases from my local environment securely?▼

Testing against production databases from your local environment securely is possible by mapping remote databases to local endpoints via Pilot tunnels. This allows development and testing without requiring a VPN or exposing the databases directly.

Does database tunneling via Pilot Protocol require exposing public ports?▼

Database tunneling via Pilot Protocol does not require exposing public ports. It provides secure gateway-based access by mapping remote databases to local endpoints, ensuring your infrastructure remains protected behind existing NATs and firewalls.
