jtunnel-netty-client VS sish

Long time lurker here , here is one i have written in java with netty inspired by ngrok and localtunnel which allows for inspection of requests and provides replay . Its Still in development with a lot of rough edges .

sish - Open source ngrok/serveo alternative. SSH-based but uses a custom server written in Go. Supports WebSocket tunneling.

sish uses ssh tunneling that you can read about in their docs: https://ssi.sh/

Tunneling services can be considered as a solution in some cases. Services like ngrok, frp, localtunnel and sish create a public endpoint that tunnels communication to your local endpoint via a tunnel client.

My favourite one is https://github.com/antoniomika/sish

It uses SSH as the method of opening the remote tunnel to the public server.

Why not forget about Cloudflare and a VPN but get a 3 euro Hetzner server and install https://github.com/antoniomika/sish for dynamic DNS through SSH + Traefik with a DNS resolver and have yourself a wildcard certificate. This way you can host any service from home as long as you run a port forwarding service through SSH with a one liner on Ubuntu. Better yet make an alpine docker image with a command to route traffic to your local service for even more isolation. 😘

Personally I’ve been using sish[1] recently, lots of ngrok alternatives out there now, especially as the pricing went a bit weird

i used to use a similar tool called inlets but they removed the open licensing. i now self host a sish server (https://github.com/antoniomika/sish) which also uses ssh for the reverse tunnel client. so much simpler!

- Sish : Because I don't want to pay for ngrok anymore (https://github.com/antoniomika/sish)

They could create a tunneled connection. Take a look at ngrok.io or ssi.sh
