Inletsctl – self-hosted network tunnels

In plain words

Inletsctl is a tool for creating self-hosted network tunnels. Developers use it to expose local services to the internet or connect remote networks without relying on third-party tunnel services. The software runs on infrastructure you control, giving users full ownership of their tunnel endpoints and data. It's designed for developers who need reliable network access and prefer managing their own infrastructure rather than depending on external services.

  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

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
