How can it help you:

Access your files anywhere you go

Imagine a sunny vacation... Oh, no, wait, you forgot to submit an important report at work! The files are on your home computer, but you only have your phone with you. No worries! Use BTH to connect to your home, access local network drives, remote desktop, etc. Your files are always at your fingertips!

Enable location based services

You are travelling, watching your favorite series on a video streaming platform. You want to continue the next episode while in a layover airport, but the show is not available in this country. Use BTH to virtually go back home and resume the episode that works there.

Public network safety

Never trust public WiFi networks while traveling - you never know who's watching! And paying for a Cloud VPN is the same thing with extra steps - you still have to trust some company...
With BTH, you can use your own trusted home network instead and browse safely through your own ISP! You could even run a PiHole adblocker on your home network and enjoy ad-free browsing on your phone... without any additional adblock apps!

Personal media access

You have a network drive with family photos and videos. You are visiting relatives. With BTH you can securely connect to your own network drive and show the photos to family members. Not only that - you can use the BTH app to quickly share this secure connection with family members, so they can access your photo storage even when you leave. Always available, securely. No cloud, no third parties to trust.

More ways to use BTH

How does it work?

Wireguard™ encrypted
Uses the modern and secure Wireguard (TM) encrypted VPN tunnel from your smartphone or computer to your home router.
Router behind NAT
If home router is behind NAT (does not have a public IP), connection is made via the MikroTik relay service. The relay service does not decrypt your connection and has no information about the traffic in your tunnel. It only helps both ends find each other. Your connection is end to end encrypted (E2EE).
End to end security
Even when a direct connection to your home is not possible and the MikroTik relay server must be used, we don't have any access to your data. The tunnel is still running from your phone directly to your home router, uninterrupted and securely encrypted. Unlike other services, where your VPN tunnel must terminate at a 3rd party cloud server, our relay only helps the connections find their way, but they remain secure - from one end to the other.
Share & add limitations
The Sharing feature configures a new Wireguard tunnel for your friend, but can optionally set up limitations, like expiry date and firewall that blocks access to your LAN.
Router requirements
BTH requires a MikroTik "ARM" CPU based router. View supported routers.
Where to start?
To set up BTH with a compatible device, install the BTH app while you are inside your home network and use it to connect to your MikroTik device. For more information about the setup process see documentation.
