PipeGate – A Lightweight, Self-Hosted Proxy to Expose Local Servers
Hi Hacker News, I’d like to introduce PipeGate, a lightweight, self-hosted proxy built with FastAPI. I created PipeGate as a fun little exercise to understand how tunneling services work under the hood. PipeGate allows you to expose your local servers to the internet, giving you full control over your setup.
In plain words
PipeGate is a lightweight, self-hosted proxy built with FastAPI that exposes local servers to the internet. Designed for developers who want full control over their tunneling setup, it works as an alternative to commercial tunneling services. The tool was created as an exercise in understanding how such services function under the hood and is available as open-source software.
