Inlets 3.0 RC1

In plain words

Inlets 3.0 RC1 is a release candidate for an open-source tunneling tool available on GitHub. It enables users to create secure network connections and expose local services to the internet. The software is designed for developers and system administrators who need to share applications or services running on private networks. This release candidate allows early testing of version 3.0 features before the stable release.

  Pipenet – A Modern Alternative to LocaltunnelJan 2026 · pipenet.dev · ▲114

  Hey HN! localtunnel's server needs random ports per client. That doesn't work on Fly.io or behind strict firewalls. We rewrote it in TypeScript and added multiplexing over a single port. Open-source and 100% self-hostable. Public instance at *.pipenet.dev if you don't want to self-host. Built at Glama for our MCP Inspector, but it's a generic tunnel with no ties to our infra. https://github.com/punkpeye/pipenet
