Expose home server with Rathole tunnel and Traefik
In the previous article, I wrote about a temporary SSH tunneling technique to bypass CGNAT. This method is not suitable for exposing permanent services, at least not without autossh manager. Proper tools for this are rapiz1/rathole or fatedier/frp. I chose Rathole since it's written in Rust and offers better performance and benchmarks.

Wiredoor VS frp - a user suggested alternative
2 projects | 26 Apr 2025
While frp is a flexible and lightweight reverse proxy solution, Wiredoor focuses on secure service exposure using modern technologies like WireGuard and NGINX as core components. Wiredoor eliminates the need for manual port forwarding or public IPs by creating a VPN-based reverse tunnel, providing better encryption, automatic HTTPS, and easier service publishing.

Expose local dev server with SSH tunnel and Docker
Another point to make is that the SSH tunnel technique is most suitable for temporarily exposing services for demo purposes. For permanent tunnels, you would need to add autossh to keep the connection alive, but there are better tools for permanent tunnels, such as rapiz1/rathole or fatedier/frp.

3 Best Ngrok Alternatives
According to its Github page, FRP is "a fast reverse proxy that allows you to expose a local server located behind a NAT or firewall to the internet. It currently supports TCP and UDP, as well as HTTP and HTTPS protocols, enabling requests to be forwarded to internal services via domain name."

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!

List of ngrok/Cloudflare Tunnel alternatives and other tunneling software and services. Focus on self-hosting.
If you want to self-host, there are many options. For something production ready frp is probably what you want. If you're a developer, I'd recommend starting with my own SirTunnel project and modifying it for your needs. For non-developers and those wanting more of a GUI experience, I created boringproxy. It's my take on a comprehensive tunnel proxy solution. It's in beta but currently solves almost everything I want. Once the server is running this is a very easy tool to use and has some nice features.
