## What it is
zoro is a Go CLI tool that exposes local TCP/UDP servers to the external network through a remote relay server, with zero-configuration setup. It also supports exposing local HTTP servers via HTTPS subdomains using wildcard certificates.

## Use cases
- expose local web server to the internet
- share local SSH server through a remote machine
- tunnel a local DNS server over UDP
- serve a local dev server on a public HTTPS subdomain
- bypass NAT to access home services remotely
- self-hosted ngrok alternative

## When to choose
- you need both TCP and UDP tunneling
- you want a simple self-hosted tunnel with no config files
- you need HTTPS subdomain exposure for local HTTP services
- you prefer a single lightweight Go binary

## When to avoid
- you need a managed service with dashboards and auth tokens
- you need WebSocket-only or HTTP/2-specific tunneling features
- you want GUI-based tunnel management
- you need built-in load balancing across multiple clients

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: proxy, networking, http-server, websocket
- domain: networking, developer-tools, self-hosted
- platform: windows, cross-platform, cli, go
