smarGate is a cross-network remote port mapping and NAT traversal tool consisting of an Android client app and lightweight server binaries, enabling intranet-to-intranet and intranet-to-internet access without a public IP. It supports TCP-based P2P tunneling, multi-link aggregation (P2P plus proxy fallback), TLS-encrypted tunnels, and socks/http(s) proxying.

Use cases

• access home intranet services remotely without a public IP
• expose internal services to the internet securely
• map ports between two machines on different private networks
• set up a socks or http proxy through my home network
• use an old Android phone as a tunnel server
• securely reach office intranet from a 4G phone
• aggregate p2p and proxy links for higher bandwidth

When to choose

• you need intranet access without a public IP or VPS
• you want app-controlled, zero-config-on-server port mapping
• you need TCP-based P2P with automatic tunnel selection and TLS encryption
• you want a tiny, lightweight binary supporting many CPU architectures

When to avoid

• you need a fully open-source tool (source is not published yet)
• you need UDP-native tunneling rather than UDP-over-TCP
• you require official proxy access to IPs outside mainland China
• you need a mature alternative like frp or WireGuard with wide community auditing
