    A fast TCP/UDP tunnel over HTTP

  • Looking at the perf https://github.com/jpillora/chisel/blob/master/test/bench/pe... it looks not too bad!

    I have a few TCP based utilities. I was thinking I need to make websocket equivalents for it to work on the web, but happy to see this project, I will be evaluating this soon, it should save me some time.

    Thanks for sharing!

  • proxytunnel

    Stealth tunneling through HTTP(S) proxies

  • Using Proxytunnel [1] to do specifically this, in an environment where a packet inspecting proxy prevents SSH traffic.

    It supports connecting over HTTPs, so the traffic doesn't look fishy with the setup of: SSH Client -> HTTPs Encryption -> Corporate Packet Sniffing Proxy -> Your Server -> HTTPs Decryption -> SSHD Server

    Looking forward to explore chisel as well.

  • frp

    A fast reverse proxy to help you expose a local server behind a NAT or firewall to the internet.

  • Seems to be the exact opposite of https://github.com/fatedier/frp which is a reverse tunnel over a variety of protocols (including HTTP).
