  • List of ngrok/Cloudflare Tunnel alternatives and other tunneling software and services. Focus on self-hosting.
    Zrok - Aims for effortless sharing both publicly and privately. Supports multiple types of resources, including HTTP endpoints and files. Built on OpenZiti (see overlay section below). Apache 2 License. Written in Go. - Source: dev.to / 5 days ago

  • Tunnelmole, an ngrok alternative (open source)
    Also https://zrok.io/. Its open source, and has a free SaaS. Its also more comprehensive than Tunnelmore, e.g., supporting TCP or UDP tunnels. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
  • Bluesky announces data federation for self hosters
    Another option is using zrok - https://zrok.io/. Its open source so you could build it directly into Bluesky and either host the backend yourself or use the zrok free SaaS. Zrok also has SDKs so you could embed the capability directly into your binaries without having a separate agent. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
  • Ask HN: What new shell tools have recently excited you?
    Not so much a shell tool, just a tool that one controls with the shell, but https://zrok.io/ really is amazing. It can serve the purpose of ngrok making local stuff accessible globally, but with a really cool open distributed backend system. Bluetuith looks amazing although I haven't tried it yet or had a use case. But it should be fantastic for setting up Bluetooth on a raspberry pi. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
  • SSO an internal website
    Twingate requires the users to have a client loaded on their devices. Something like Cloudflare or zrok.io is probably a better bet. Source: 5 months ago

    If you want secure VPN type connectivity free and open source https://github.com/openziti may be good. If you want access via web with password/username/IdP, then zrok.io with frontdoor. Source: 5 months ago
  • Cloudflare Tunnel vs some other option?
    You could use zrok.io. It's an open source alternative which can be self-hosted or has a free SaaS. It also includes cool features like 'private sharing' (which means both sides can be private with no inbound ports) and recently implemented 0Auth for front end authentication - https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/175hehy/zrok\_office\_hours\_oauth\_public\_frontend/. I work on the parent project. Source: 7 months ago
  • Serve a service/port on IPFS instead of content, ngrok decentralized alternative?
    I made some research about openziti and zrok, they seem to be more tailored to be self-hosted and to act as a more secure and private type of VPS or reverse proxy, or we can also use their public zrok.io instance which will kinda fall back into the same problem of having to trust a single entity. But it's much better in the sense that it's open source and if their zrok.io instance goes down, anyone can host a new... Source: 10 months ago
  • Serve a service/port on IPFS instead of content, ngrok decentralized alternative?
    I see. Maybe this is achievable with the open source project I work on called OpenZiti - https://openziti.io/docs/. It's a zero trust overlay network which builds outbound-only connections at source and destination. We have an open source ngrok replacement, too, built on Ziti - https://zrok.io/.

  • zrok: open-source peer-to-peer sharing (release of 0.4.0)
    A few months back, we released zrok, an open-source peer tpeer-to-peero peer sharing platform built on top of OpenZiti - think alternative to Ngrok, Tailscale Funnel, and others. If you missed that post, you can find it here. Source: 10 months ago
  • Self-Hosted Mesh Network / VPN For User-Friendly LAN Gaming Network?

  • Can't seem to port forward
    You could use zrok.io. It's an open source alternative which can be self-hosted or has a free SaaS. Our 0.4 release supports UDP (https://blog.openziti.io/the-road-ahead-for-zrok), and that is being made available on the SaaS right now. Source: 11 months ago
  • Need DPI-proof VPN protocol
    I guess it depends on your definition of "client side" now that I re-read/thought about my initial answer... :) you can also selfhost zrok (or use the cloud/saas version of either) you can learn what zrok is at https://zrok.io. If you're familiar with ngrok, you'll understand zrok immediately... :) It's built leveraging the OpenZiti overlay I mentioned. Source: 11 months ago
