Tailscale has raised $160M
Even if it could mean Tailscale enshittifies eventually, this is probably a good thing for the ecosystem.
The bigger they get, the more likely operating systems will be to build better APIs to support what they do (for example maybe Apple will provide a way to do mDNS over Tailscale).
There are plenty of open source alternatives cropping up[0]. I'm curious to see what Tailscale can do with a lot of resources.

CGNAT frustrates all IP address-based technologies (2019)
Requiring web services and ISPs to retain detailed logs in perpetuity until IPv6 is universal would be one way to expedite the transition.
But personally I don't think IPv6 is ever going to happen. There's simply too little monetary incentive for supporting it. For outbound connections NAT/CGNAT works fine. For inbound connections you can use SNI routing with a tunnel[0].

Tailscale Is Pretty Useful
or one of the many alternatives - https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling. I will advocate for zrok.io as I work on its parent project, OpenZiti. zrok is open source and has a free (more generous and capable) SaaS than ngrok.
- Can the host header in HTTP be changed at the application layer?

Show HN: Connet – A P2P reverse proxy with NAT traversal
Over the past couple of months, I've been working on connet. At this point, it is working pretty smoothly (in what I use it for), so I wanted to share it with more people and see what they think.
I know many other similar/reverse proxy solutions exist - like https://github.com/fatedier/frp, https://github.com/rapiz1/rathole, and a bunch more you can find at https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling. However, I wanted to try and put my own little peer-to-peer twist on it.
Thanks for checking it out, and sharing any feedback you might have!

Show HN: PipeGate – A Lightweight, Self-Hosted Proxy Inspired by Ngrok
Why not just use one of the many open source ngrok alternatives - https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling. I will advocate for zrok.io as I work on its parent project, OpenZiti. zrok is open source and has a free (more generous and capable) SaaS than ngrok. Whats the use for the log/inspector + replay? I don't think we have it today, but could develop if its useful for others.

Access your Raspberry Pi without a public IP
Except its not. Port forwarding exposes your local environment to the internet, unrestricted. Pinggy (and other sharing platforms - https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling) share a resource on a public IP, which should be at the very least behind basic auth. The 'better alternative' you describe is an overlay network. These things have different purposes.

Colocation: Non-Clown Hosting
Plenty of alternatives exist - https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling. My issue with Funnel is that it includes no auth, exposing you to anyone in the world. I will advocate for zrok.io as I work on its parent project, OpenZiti. zrok is open source and has a free SaaS (as well as auth and hardening in general).

Gentle Guide to Self-Hosting
This is pretty nice. I see sish and inlets. I have a lot more similar tools on my list here: https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling
For auth, I also made a comparison of OIDC servers here: https://github.com/lastlogin-net/obligator?tab=readme-ov-fil...
