boringproxy is a tunneling reverse proxy written in Go that exposes local web servers securely via public HTTPS URLs. It includes a web UI, automatic HTTPS, and a client/server architecture designed for self-hosters.
Use cases
- expose a local dev server via a public https url
- self-host web apps behind a home connection without port forwarding
- create secure tunnels to machines behind NAT
- reverse proxy with automatic https certificates
- manage tunnels through a simple web ui
When to choose
- you self-host services on machines behind NAT or firewalls
- you want a lightweight self-hosted alternative to ngrok
- you need automatic HTTPS for exposed local servers
When to avoid
- you need a full-featured production load balancer
- you only need local reverse proxying without tunneling
- you require enterprise-grade access controls and auditing
