Using LNbits behind a NAT (like your home router) without a public domain name is a real pain.
TOR? Slow as a 🐌.
Now it’s super easy to connect remotely using Holesail. The proxy app generates a public key, which you can use on any machine with Node.js installed. Just run:
npx holesail <public-key>
Then open http://localhost:8989 in your browser — and you’re in.
The Holesail team is also working on a smartphone app for seamless access.
💪 No more centralized domain names or cloud providers!
Want to publish a proxy-app for other Umbrel apps? It’s simple — just reuse the lnbits-holesail-proxy Docker and tweak the umbrel-app.yml to point to your desired app’s port.
P.S. I’m not affiliated with the Holesail or LNbits teams — just a humble plumber connecting the pipes between two great projects.

The Spring app by @brugeman is fantastic!
It lets you access Nostr-enabled web apps directly from your phone - perfect because regular browsers for smartphones don’t support extensions. It also comes with links to Nostr websites that I didn't know.
I feel much safer keeping my nsec only on my phone and never entering it on my laptop (not even in a browser extension). I’ve tried using bunkers before, but the experience felt clunky—like there were frequent communication issues. Maybe it’s smoother now?
I'm also wondering why Spring doesn't have a URL bar to type any website. Was this a requirement by Google Play?
