    There are a whole bunch of alternatives too - 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 SaaS as well as more built in security.
  • Reverst: Reverse Tunnels in Go over HTTP/3 and QUIC

    https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling. Seems similar to zrok.io, ngrok, cloudflare tunnels, tailscale funnels and zrok although you're using http/3 explicitly.

    Personally I work on two similar projects you might want to check out: zrok and OpenZiti. Similar projects, but zrok is closest to what you did here.

  • Portr – open-source ngrok alternative designed for teams

    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.

    I haven't tried vscode forwarding. What features does it have that are missing from most of the options on the list[0]?

    If you want a nice GUI for remote managing maybe check out one of my tools, boringproxy

    Your use case sounds interesting and there may be a tool out there that will do it, but I can't quite wrap my head around your description of how everything is connected and what runs where with your current setup.

    I agree with sibling that my main question is what prevents you from using SSHFS or similar?

  • Hesitating between Tailscale Funnel / Cloudflare tunnel and others
    1 project | /r/Tailscale | 11 Dec 2023
    I'm starting to try to get into Cloudflare tunnel, Tailscale funnel and other alternatives. What I need is my services to be accessible without any installation client-side, and I'm unsure what services provide this. I also looked at solutions like BoringProxy, TunnelMole from this page : https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling My goal is to have my current domain rented at OVH pointing to my server to make it as much like before as possible.

  • Would we still create Nebula today?
    14 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Oct 2023
    We have a section for overlay networks on the tunneling list[0] I maintain. This is a very interesting space with some excellent software.

    I certainly have my gripes about the closed nature of Slack itself, in particular using a closed protocol when the model is clearly "federated" between multiple servers internally. That said, the contribution of something on the scale and quality of Nebula back to the open source community is hard to argue with.
