/ SONDA · AUTOMATE

Send from where the API can be reached.

The API only answers the bastion's address. The staging network is private. The partner whitelisted one server. Via makes the request from that server: a tunnel item is an SSH login Sonda holds open, a request picks it next to Send, and the call leaves from there — with nothing installed on the box and no port opened on yours.

How it works

ChannelEach request is one direct-tcpip channel over the SSH login — like ssh -L without the port. Parallel sends share the login; nothing stays connected between them.
TLSRuns end to end inside the channel, with the request's own verify switch and the Network page's CAs and client certificates. The destination's SNI is preserved.
LoginA key file with an optional passphrase, a password (keyboard-interactive answered), or the SSH agent — on Windows the OpenSSH agent's named pipe.
Host key~/.ssh/known_hosts first. An unknown host is a first contact: the fingerprint shown, accepted, appended. A changed key is refused, with no override in the app.
ScopeHTTP requests, GraphQL introspection and OAuth token fetches, and a load test's origins. Inherited from a folder or a project, overridable back to Local.
/ IN USE

Pick it, test it, share the server but not the login.

A tunnel connects on demand at Send. A keepalive every 30 seconds; dropped after 45 without an answer, with the reason shown.

Test

Logs in and optionally reaches a host and port from the server, reporting the login and the reach in milliseconds. Nothing stays connected.

Status

Connected or not, the host key, the requests carried, the bytes, the last error. A chip on the answer says "made from this server through this tunnel".

In a shared project

The server, the port and the accepted host key travel with the project. The login — user, key, password — stays on each computer. Passwords and passphrases are masked, blank in exports, never echoed in errors.
