You make the invitation.
Run one command on the machine you want to share. Rendezvous starts a private onion service and a temporary SSH listener.
Invite your agent. Or your person.
Ad-hoc shell access to the machine when you need it. No port forwarding. No infrastructure.

Run one command on the machine you want to share. Rendezvous starts a private onion service and a temporary SSH listener.
Send the invitation through a channel you trust. Your agent or collaborator joins using the same small CLI.
The first authentication consumes the invitation. Disconnect or stop the host to end access. That invitation cannot connect again.
Your terminal traffic travels through the Tor network with SSH authentication and a pinned host key. It never passes through a Rendezvous-hosted session server.
Understand the trust modelStart a shell session for your agent or collaborator. Share the invitation, get to work, and end access when you're done.

Requirements and documentation
curl -fsSL https://host.rdzv.sh | shcurl -fsSL https://join.rdzv.sh | shNot after it has been redeemed. Authentication consumes it once, and disconnect never reactivates it. Someone who steals an unused invitation can race the intended guest. Share it privately.
No. Tor relays carry the encrypted session. Neither endpoint needs an inbound port or NAT hairpinning. You depend on Tor's availability, and latency is higher than direct SSH.
It gets a shell as the account that launched the host. This is full account access, not a sandbox. Ending the session does not reverse file changes or reliably stop deliberately detached programs.
The current preview is free to download and use. There is no Rendezvous subscription or session relay bill. Tor infrastructure is operated by others; its capacity and availability are shared.
