Noble Tunnel

Noble Tunnel can be used to wrap an application and force it to use a proxy for outbound connections. With Noble Tunnel your application can either be modified to connection to a port on localhost or have all it's network connections be tunneled through a proxy.

Creating an Outbound Proxy

Start by signing up for an account and accessing the dashboard.

1. Navigate to the Outbound Proxies tab and select Create Outbound Proxy
2. Once the proxy is created you will get 2 static IP address. You will need to white list both addresses. We provide 2 addresses for high availablity, in case one became unreachable, your service can failover to the other one.

Creating a new Tunnel

1. Navigate to the Tunnels tab of your proxy and select Create Tunnel
2. Select your kind of tunnel Local Listener or Network Wrapper.

Configure Noble Tunnel

Tunnel Type: Local Listener

When the tunnel is running in local listener mode, it is configured with the ports it should listen on locally, and the hosts those connection should be forwarded to. For example if I wanted to update a python application to connect to a local port provided by Noble Tunnel:

1. First configure the tunnel in the dashboard with the local listener:
2. Modify your application to now connect to localhost

   with connect(
        host="localhost:3306",
        user="username",
        password="password",
    ) as connection:
        create_db_query = "SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 5"
        with connection.cursor() as cursor:
            cursor.execute(select_movies_query)

3. Run your application with the noble tunnel:

   noble-tunnel --token tn_12345 -- python3 ./my-app.py

Tunnel Type: Network Wrapper

The network wrapper mode can be used to tunnel traffic to certain IP address or all outbound traffic through the proxy. This functionality is only available on Linux systems and works for a majority of applications.

1. First configure the tunnel in the dashboard with the network wrapper mode:
2. You can either choose to route all traffic through the proxy, or just specific IPs. Traffic in the private network range, or to localhost will never be routed through the proxy.
3. Run your application with the noble tunnel:

   noble-tunnel --token tn_12345 -- python3 ./my-app.py
