Portal

Self-hostable relay tunnel that exposes localhost services with no port forwarding, firewall rules, or accounts.

Servicefreeglobal

Portal is a free, open-source local tunnel tool that exposes a localhost service to the internet through self-hosted or public relays, positioned as an alternative to services like ngrok, with no accounts, port forwarding, or firewall rule changes required. It's aimed at developers who need to quickly and trustlessly share a local service without signing up for a hosted tunneling service.
