What it does

Fast tunneling tool built in Rust. Expose local servers to the public internet with a single command. $ tunn http 8080 tunnel ready: https://abc123.tunn.uz Install curl -s https://tunn.uz/install | bash Or download binaries from Releases . # Expose a local HTTP server tunn http 8080 # Expose a TCP port (databases, SSH, etc.) tunn tcp 5432 # Expose a UDP port tunn udp 9000 How it works [local :8080] <-> [tunn client] <-QUIC-> [tunn server] <-> [public internet] The client opens a QUIC connection to the server, which assigns a public subdomain. Incoming traffic is relayed through the encrypted tunnel to your localfrom github.com

    A simple self-hosted ngrok alternative2019 · ▲34

    This is a proof of concept utility which allows you to expose local services to the internet at large: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;skx&#x2F;tunneller In short it is a simple ngrok alternative, which you can self-host. Because it is a proof of concept it hasn't been tested extensively, but it seems like it will solve my immediate-needs. Of course it needs test, and structure added. But feedback can't hurt :)

  • Pico: An open-source Ngrok alternative built for production traffic2024 · github.com · ▲244

    Pico is an open-source alternative to Ngrok. Unlike most other open-source tunnelling solutions, Pico is designed to serve production traffic and be simple to host (particularly on Kubernetes). Upstream services connect to Pico and register endpoints. Pico will then route requests for an endpoint to a registered upstream service via its outbound-only connection. This means you can expose your services without opening a public port. Pico runs as a cluster of nodes in order to be fault tolerant, scale horizontally and support zero downtime deployments. It is also easy to host, such as a…

  • Talanoa▲346

    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…
