Playit.gg is a great tunnel — it gives your self-hosted server a public address without touching your router. NodeMesh does that too, and wraps it in a full control plane so you're not babysitting the server by hand.
Playit.gg solves exactly one problem: getting traffic to a server you already run, set up, and maintain yourself. There's no panel, no console, no file manager — just the tunnel.
NodeMesh keeps the built-in traffic proxy (no port-forwarding, same as Playit) and adds the parts you'd otherwise do by hand: install a game in one click, manage files and mods in the browser, take backups, and auto-restart on crash — all running on your own hardware.
If all you want is a public address for a server you're happy to manage entirely by hand, Playit.gg is delightfully simple and you may not need anything more. NodeMesh is for when you'd rather have a panel — console, files, mods, backups, auto-restart — doing that work for you.
Free during beta — install the agent on hardware you already have.
