bore

Simple self-hosted TCP tunnel CLI for exposing localhost to the internet

Servicefreeglobal

A minimal self-hosted TCP tunnel CLI written in Rust that exposes a local port to the public internet through a remote server, bypassing NAT and firewall restrictions. It helps developers temporarily share local development servers or test webhooks without using heavier commercial tunneling services, positioning itself as a lightweight alternative to tools like ngrok and localtunnel and is popular on GitHub. Not intended for users who need built-in HTTPS or subdomain management.
