Use your iPhone proxies from other computers

Turn it on

Remote access gives each phone a proxy URL that works from any computer, not only the one the phone is plugged into. Turn it on in the app, or:

123ownyourproxy remote on
ownyourproxy url 1 --remote                          # the URL of phone 1
curl -x "$(ownyourproxy url 1 --remote)" https://api.ipify.org

The URL looks like this:

1https://ownyourproxy:<password>@<random>.<id>.opentunnel.xyz

It is an HTTPS proxy: curl, Chrome, Playwright and most HTTP libraries accept it.

Anyone with the URL uses that phone's data. Share it like a password.

How it works

The relay is OpenTunnel. It forwards encrypted bytes: TLS ends inside OwnYourProxy on your computer, so the relay cannot read the traffic.

  other computer                      OpenTunnel relay                     your computer
  ┌────────────────────┐         ┌──────────────────────┐         ┌──────────────────────────┐
  │ curl -x https://…  │──TLS──> │ forwards bytes,      │──────>  │ TLS ends in OwnYourProxy │
  └────────────────────┘         │ cannot read them     │         │ ──USB──> iPhone ──> IP   │
                                 └──────────────────────┘         └──────────────────────────┘

URLs stay the same across restarts: the route name and the password are derived from a secret stored on your computer. Turn Remote access off to stop every URL at once:
