Unlike tailscale/ngrok, malai is completely open source, does not rely on any company provided infrastructure (we have a http bridge to bridge http/tcp with http/kulfi at *.kulfi.site, but you can run your own http bridge), and once Kulfi app is ready, you will not need the bridge at all and Kulfi app (which is also basically a browser that speaks http(s) over kulfi along with http(s) over tcp) can talk kulfi protocol directly.

Iroh requires relay servers; so wouldn't Malai need those?

[amitu]

Yes, we are currently using iroh provided relay servers. malai will soon connect with any relay server, so in future you can use ones provided by us, or run your own.
