sish VS ZeroTier

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!

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

ZeroTier - Layer 2 overlay network. They take decentralization seriously, and like to say "decentralize until it hurts, then centralize until it works." Written in C++.

EDIT - I'm tired and cross-eyed after a bunch of internet searching and rabbit holes... A supposed ZeroTier dev said on April 25, 2023 that this would be addressed in a future release of the app in this thread: https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/issues/1952. On August 10th, another engineer said that they are waiting for a car to be delivered.

Solution 2: Wait for support from Zerotier-One with DBUS

If you just want to connect between your devices, you don't need any hardware. Just install zerotier on them.
