Secure TCP tunnel from anywhere with curl and nc for single connection
You can self-host easily on Heroku, Replit, Glich, etc. See https://github.com/nwtgck/piping-server/wiki/How-to-self-host-Piping-Server for detail.
I found a higher transparent way that uses existing and widely used commands: nc and curl. The original idea of a port forwarding with socat, curl, and Piping Server was proposed in a Japanese article by @Cryolite. Meanwhile, this post introduces a way using nc (netcat), which is more widely used and installed than socat, and the way allows simple integration with other commands using Unix pipe. It is very helpful when using an untrustable server because we can integrate it with an encryption command such as openssl.
