wstunnel VS ngrok

This is the version I was able to use and to my best knowledge it doesn’t support UDP: https://github.com/mhzed/wstunnel

There are not that many examples of implementation reverse proxy over WebSocket. In JavaScript, mhzed/wstunnel is well known, in Haskell, erebe/wstunnel is.

ngrok 1.0 - Original version of ngrok. No longer developed in favor of the commercial 2.0 version.

Thanks for the history. I maintain this list[0], and wasn't aware of OG localtunnel, likely because there's a somewhat newer and now more popular project with the same name[1]. You appear to be correct on timing. Here's the earliest commits on GitHub for each of the projects:

OG localtunnel (2010): https://github.com/progrium/localtunnel/tree/fb82920d9d3e538...

Other localtunnel (2012): https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel/tree/93d62b9dbb9f...

ngrok (2012): https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok/tree/8f4795ecac7f92...

I'll see that OG localtunnel gets added to the list for posterity.

ngrok

if you're worried about the line "ngrok captures and analyzes all traffic over the tunnel for later inspection and replay" in https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok, I'd say that's a valid concern but not for ssh if you make sure the client knows what the host key is and does not accept a different one

Looks like it's open source so it could be just a fork away https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok

To get a fix domain, we can deploy HTTP tunnel in our own server. ngrok also provides an open source version for server side deployment. But it is old 1.x version and not recommended to deploy at production with some serious reliability issues.

I ended up inspired by ngork structure here: https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok it doesn't really work well with go modules, since i will end up running project like this:

Maybe https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok/issues/408

In Go, inconshreveable/ngrok and coyove/goflyway is well known, especially ngrok is popular among developers as a SaaS service.
