OutRay is an open-source ngrok alternative that exposes local servers to the internet via HTTP, TCP, and UDP tunnels with custom domains and automatic TLS. It includes a self-hostable tunnel server, CLI client, and a dashboard with traffic analytics and team support.

Use cases

• expose localhost to the internet
• share a local dev server with a teammate
• test webhooks against a local server
• tunnel a local postgres database over tcp
• tunnel udp services like dns or voip
• self-host an ngrok alternative
• use a custom domain for local development

When to choose

• you want an open-source, self-hostable alternative to ngrok
• you need HTTP, TCP, and UDP tunneling in one tool
• you want a dashboard with traffic analytics and team access control
• you need custom domains with automatic TLS

When to avoid

• you only need a quick hosted tunnel without running PostgreSQL, Redis, and TimescaleDB
• you need a mature enterprise-grade tunneling solution
• you cannot run Node.js 20+ infrastructure
