A curated awesome-list cataloging and comparing tunneling software and services such as ngrok, Cloudflare Tunnel, Tailscale, and ZeroTier, with a focus on self-hosted options. It helps self-hosters and developers find tools to expose local servers behind NAT with public domains and automatic HTTPS.
Use cases
- find an ngrok alternative for exposing a local webserver
- compare self-hosted tunneling solutions
- expose a local dev server behind NAT with HTTPS
- choose between Tailscale and ZeroTier alternatives
- find open-source reverse tunnel software
- set up a public domain for a home server
When to choose
- you need to research and compare tunneling tools before picking one
- you specifically want self-hosted or open-source tunneling options
- you want a maintained reference list of NAT traversal solutions
When to avoid
- you need a working tunnel tool itself rather than a list of options
- you need a single opinionated production solution with no research
- you need guaranteed licensing or formal support from the list itself
