Top 4 Rust Firewall Projects

  1. rathole

    A lightweight and high-performance reverse proxy for NAT traversal, written in Rust. An alternative to frp and ngrok.

    Project mention: WireGuard DoV (DNS-over-VPN) | dev.to | 2025-06-29

    You can use port-forwarded UDP, or TCP (e.g., DoH, or DoT) dnsproxy ports instead of local process to escape network restrictions (e.g., using rathole)

    Project mention: Faster interpreters in Go: Catching up with C++ | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-05

    The resulting VM implementation reminds me of this post from cloudflare where they similarly use closures to build their interpreter.
