🌍 Exposing Your Hermes Agent to the Internet with Tailscale Funnel (Safely)

Short summary

Hermes Agent exposes an OpenAI-compatible API running locally on port 8642, but it's not accessible remotely by default. Tailscale Funnel solves this by creating a secure HTTPS tunnel with automatic TLS termination and encryption—no port forwarding, reverse proxy, or VPS needed. Configure Hermes with API_SERVER_ENABLED=true and a secret key, then run 'tailscale funnel 8642' to generate a public HTTPS endpoint.
