Reverst is a load-balanced reverse-tunnel server and Go client library built on QUIC and HTTP/3. It lets services behind restrictive networks (e.g. NAT gateways) dial out to a publicly deployed tunnel server and expose themselves on the public internet.

Use cases

• expose a local web service behind NAT to the public internet
• build load-balanced tunnels for multiple service instances over HTTP/3
• embed reverse-tunnel client functionality in a Go application
• self-hosted alternative to ngrok for tunneling
• serve HTTP requests to services in restrictive networks via QUIC tunnels

When to choose

• you need to expose services from behind NAT/firewalls without port forwarding
• you want a Go library to embed tunneling via net/http abstractions
• you want load-balanced tunnel groups over QUIC/HTTP/3
• you prefer a self-hosted tunnel server you control

When to avoid

• you only need simple TCP port forwarding rather than HTTP tunneling
• you need a polished turnkey tunnel service with dashboards and accounts
• your environment cannot use UDP, since QUIC requires it
• you need non-Go client SDKs
