PROJECT STATUS: MERGEDPlanned direction

Networking-first research before implementation.

The idea is strong, but the underlying networking behavior needs to be designed carefully before code is written.

Current Status: MERGEDDNS backend, proxy backend, TCP/UDP handling, certificate strategy, firewall integration, and deployment architecture are not finalized.
Core Model

Hosts + Services + Names

Define a clean data model that links a host, its IP, its direct-access hostname, and the services running on it.

DNS

Central Name Management

Choose whether NetworkBridge provides DNS directly or integrates with an existing DNS backend.

Proxy

HTTP/HTTPS Routing

Choose a safe proxy engine or integration approach for web services.

Protocols

Non-Web Services

Research how TCP/UDP services should be represented without breaking direct host access.

Security

TLS + Firewall Boundaries

Keep certificate handling, exposure, and routing rules explicit and reviewable.

UX

Stay Simpler Than IPAM

Expose only the network inventory needed to understand hosts and services.
