    Open source ngrok alternative designed for teams

  • tunnel

    DIY ngrok alternative (by ziolko)

  • Last year I've configured a simple ssh + Caddy based ngrok alternative and it works beautifully every since. I've shared instructions on https://github.com/ziolko/tunnel for anyone interested.

  • InfluxDB

  • 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.
