List of ngrok/Cloudflare Tunnel alternatives and other tunneling software and services. Focus on self-hosting.
tunnel - This one is a Golang library, not a program you can just run. However, it looks easy to use for creating custom solutions. Uses a single TCP socket, and yamux for multiplexing.

Secure TCP tunnel from anywhere with curl and nc for single connection
A simple solution is to multiplex TCP requests over Unix pipe. In order to multiplex TCP requests, Yamux is available created by Hashicorp, who creates Vagrant, Terraform, and so on. The protocol of Yamux is inspired by SPDY, which is the basis of HTTP/2 specification. The protocol spec is found in https://github.com/hashicorp/yamux/blob/master/spec.md. libp2p, which is used in IPFS, also uses Yamux as one choice of multiplexes and maintains Go and Rust versions of Yamux libraries.

Protobuf wrapping up raw tcp packets
If so, the answer is probably to put down the protobuf library entirely and just use yamux. Then you just get various net.Conns you can work with and you ignore the entire multiplexing problem.

A word of caution about Tailscale
https://github.com/juanfont/headscale not to mention but Tailscale has a very good culture, I’m sure they would give notice if they pull the rug. There are also many alternatives such as Zerotier and more are showing up every day and open source options.

Mullvad on Tailscale: Privately browse the web
You can run your own "head scale" control server and use their clients with it: https://github.com/juanfont/headscale
Requires a lot more setup, but it is an option. I've been self-hosting headscale for some time and it is quite stable.
