SirTunnel VS zrok

If you want to self-host, there are many options. For something production ready frp is probably what you want. If you're a developer, I'd recommend starting with my own SirTunnel project and modifying it for your needs. For non-developers and those wanting more of a GUI experience, I created boringproxy. It's my take on a comprehensive tunnel proxy solution. It's in beta but currently solves almost everything I want. Once the server is running this is a very easy tool to use and has some nice features.

* Great examples which provided inspiration include Cloudflare tunnel, Tailscale Funnel, SirTunnel, Localhost.run, Fractual Mosaic, Pinggy, Tunll, and of course, the original Ngrok.

All you need is a cheap VPS with decent transfer allowance (RAM and CPU doesn't matter much) and this

Personally I'd recommend setting up a one-time ssh remote tunnel on a VPS. That's essentially what SirTunnel does. If that works, try adding Caddy in front of it to get auto-HTTPS.

zrok - Aims for effortless sharing both publicly and privately. Supports multiple types of resources, including HTTP endpoints and files. Built on OpenZiti (see overlay section below). Apache 2 License. Written in Go.

I'm the lead developer on an open source product called zrok (https://github.com/openziti/zrok). zrok is a peer-to-peer sharing tool for network and file-based resources, similar to tools like ngrok.

fwiw, its back up. stars for zrok and ziti (i.e., the parent repo) are super appreciated!

Tailscale makes outbound connections so it circumvents the need for IPv6 with things like CGNAT.

OP, why not use an open source equivalent to Tailscale Funnel? For example, I work on the OpenZiti project and we created zrok.io which is fully open source alternative - https://github.com/openziti/zrok.

Here's a Dockerfile from the zrok repo you might find helpful: https://github.com/openziti/zrok/blob/main/docker/images/zrok/Dockerfile

I've started with a RPi 1 Model B rev 2 (armv61) running dietpi, which should be fine for Pihole but I'm also thinking of using it to run software to control remote access to my server, which could be Tailscale or Wireguard but zrok looks interesting. Unfortunately that doesn't have a armv61 version, only armv7 Releases · openziti/zrok (github.com) so I couldn't run it on this RPi.

I work on the open source OpenZiti project. We recently released zrok (https://zrok.io/), we have Local Debugging Interface in the backlog - https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/73.
