Who it is forA developer running agents on a remote server who needs a real browser at home.
The problemExposing a local browser port to the internet is unsafe.
The outcomeA remote agent driving your browser with no inbound port on your machine.
What you need first
- Node.js and npm
- Chrome with the bundled MV3 extension
- An agent with shell access
Steps
- Install and set up Open Web Bridge locally
- Follow the relay setup to pair the daemon and extension by token
- Point the remote agent at the relay
- Run a small task and confirm it reached your tab
Prompt for your agent
Configure open-web-bridge relay mode for <remote host>, open <url> from the remote agent, and confirm the action happened in my local browser.
Caveat. Relay mode is off by default and routes through a public relay you must deploy and trust.
