The purpose of this list is to track and compare tunneling solutions. This is primarily targeting toward developers who want to do things like exposing a local webserver via a public address.

Tools

  • ngrok 2.0 - Probably the gold standard and most popular. Closed source. Lots of features, including TLS and TCP tunnels.
  • localtunnel - Written in node. Popular suggestion.
  • ngrok 1.0 - Original version of ngrok. No longer developed in favor of the commercial version.
  • frp - Seems to be a pretty comprehensive open alternative to ngrok.
  • holepunch.io - Has nice hosted solution. Uses SSH for muxing. (code).
  • CloudFlare Argo Tunnel - $5/mo + $0.1/GB. Integrates with Argo smart routing. Client source code is available.
  • Telebit - Written in JS. Open source.
  • slt - TLS proxy from the same person who made ngrok. Supports SNI.
  • serveo - Mentioned quite a bit the last couple years, but appears to be down currently. Simply uses SSH for tunneling.
