ngrok

Thanks for the history. I maintain this list[0], and wasn't aware of OG localtunnel, likely because there's a somewhat newer and now more popular project with the same name[1]. You appear to be correct on timing. Here's the earliest commits on GitHub for each of the projects: OG localtunnel (23 Jan 2010): https://github.com/progrium/localtunnel/tree/fb82920d9d3e538... Other localtunnel (17 Jun 2012): https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel/tree/93d62b9dbb9f... ngrok (20 Mar 2013): https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok/tree/8f4795ecac7f92... I'll see that OG localtunnel gets added to the list for posterity. [0]: https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling [1]: https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel

Rathole: https://github.com/rapiz1/rathole > "A secure, stable and high-performance reverse proxy for NAT traversal, written in Rust" It compares itself to these other big projects: frp: https://github.com/fatedier/frp ngrok: https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok

> > DO NOT RUN THIS VERSION OF NGROK (1.X) IN PRODUCTION > I don't see that anywhere. I didn't find it on the website, but I did find it on the GitHub: https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok

Unfortunately: "DO NOT RUN THIS VERSION OF NGROK (1.X) IN PRODUCTION. Both the client and server are known to have serious reliability issues including memory and file descriptor leaks as well as crashes. There is also no HA story as the server is a SPOF. You are advised to run 2.0 for any production quality system." https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok NB I've used ngrok and think it's very useful, but it's not really open source

ngrok is open source as well: https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok I've used localtunnel before but due to some misbehavior on windows (which i can't remember anymore), switched to ngrok.

For a part-time programmer Mechanical Engineer, it is such a gratifying task to use ngrok. I first came across it a couple of years back. Great Project, great development, open sourced and well written in go. https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok/tree/master/src/ngr... It takes two seconds to deploy an application in the evening from my kitchen table, check it also on my mobile and the next day access it from work also and show it to co-workers. Call it "usability" for Engineers!

Their 1.x is open source: https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok This is a similar open source alternative: https://github.com/fatedier/frp Both written in Go.

I run my own version of ngrok: https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok

Yeah, I'm dubious. Edit: https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok/issues/255

isn't there https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok ?

ngrok is open-source too: https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok

Isn’t the node.js version of the ruby one ? ie: http://progrium.com/localtunnel/ Or the Go version: https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok

ngrokd (the server portion) does not store any of the data. the only portion it inspects is the Host header to determine routing information. All of the code for inspecting the traffic is done on the client side on the machine you control. =) Lastly, the code is open source at github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok if you'd like to audit it.
