Dashboard

The HLE dashboard is your central control panel for managing tunnels, API keys, access rules, and monitoring usage. Access it at hle.world/dashboard after signing in.

Overview

After logging in, the dashboard shows your account tier, live usage statistics, API keys, and active tunnels — all on a single page.

Usage statistics

The top of the dashboard displays four live counters for the current billing period:

Active Tunnels — currently connected tunnel count
Requests — total HTTP and WebSocket requests this month
Traffic — total inbound data volume this month
Total Uptime — cumulative tunnel uptime across all tunnels

Your account tier is shown in the header bar (e.g. Free or PAYG). All plan values (bandwidth, webhooks, log retention, share links) are configured on the server and displayed dynamically — see Pricing for the latest details.

Free tier

Unlimited tunnels and webhook tunnels
2 GB bandwidth/month (hard cap)
10 free webhook requests/minute
7-day access log retention
Share links up to 1 hour (1 active)

Pay-as-you-go (PAYG)

Everything in Free
2 GB free/month, then credit-based bandwidth
Unlimited webhook requests (10/min free, then charged from credits)
Up to 30-day access log retention
Share links up to 7 days (unlimited)

API key management

API keys authenticate your tunnel clients (CLI or Home Assistant add-on) with the HLE relay server. Each key has its own tunnel limit and usage tracking.

Creating a key

Type a descriptive name (e.g. “Home Assistant”, “Dev Server”) and click Create Key. The raw key is shown only once — copy it immediately. The dialog also shows Quick Start commands to install the CLI and start a tunnel.

Key table

All your keys are listed in a table showing the key prefix, active tunnel count, data in/out, and last-used timestamp. Click a row to expand key details.

Key details

Clicking a key row opens its detail panel with the key prefix, creation date, last-used time, active tunnel count, and Quick Start commands. You can delete the key from here — this revokes it immediately and disconnects any active tunnels using it.

Tunnel list

The Tunnels section shows every tunnel connected to your account:

Subdomain — the public URL prefix (e.g. ha-sz9)
Service — the proxied backend URL
API Key — which key authenticated this tunnel
Status — Active (green) or disconnected
Latency — round-trip time to the relay server
Requests — total requests handled by this tunnel
Traffic — data in and out columns

Authentication

Sign in with GitHub, Google, or an email/password account. SSO providers link automatically — signing in with GitHub and then Google using the same email merges both into one account.

Per-tunnel access control

For each tunnel, you can manage who can access it through several methods:

SSO allow-list: Add email + provider rules (any/github/google/hle) to restrict access to specific users
PIN protection: Set a numeric PIN that visitors must enter before accessing the tunnel
Basic Auth: Set a username/password that protects the tunnel with HTTP Basic Authentication
Share links: Generate shareable links with embedded access tokens

Admin panel

Admin users have access to additional management features:

User management: View all registered users, delete users
Audit logs: View all admin actions (logins, key creation/deletion, etc.)
Registration toggle: Enable/disable new user registration globally
Server settings: Manage system configuration

All admin actions are logged with timestamps and user info for auditability.
