Show HN: CRProxy is a simple and affordable ngrok alternative

#1
CRProxy is a new reverse web proxy service.

We have a generous free plan that includes the ability to use custom domains and semi-custom sub-domains. We have reasonably priced plans with good bandwidth and no additional usage charges.

Please give it a try and let me know what you think.

Thank you,

David

Hi David, Just signed up. Emails are hitting spam/junk folder. Better to move your provider.

Interesting. I'm using mailgun and I've always had pretty good luck with them. I'll have to look into it. Thank you for the report.

Also, not able to download the clients. https://crproxy.com/download/ links to 404 pages

Sorry, the repo was private. It should be fixed.

There are many (always) free alternatives out there which you can find in a fairly comprehensive list at awesome-tunneling [0]. I'd caution anyone as there's always risk with downloading a no sources available binary as well, but this looks like it could be another good option!

My favorite two projects currently in the tunneling space are sish [1] and bore [2]. sish is more full featured and utilizes ssh for handling proxies (disclaimer: I wrote sish) while bore maintains a client/server but all sources are available for both. They're written in Go and Rust respectively. There's even a publicly accessible instance of bore running. You should submit a PR to include CRProxy in the awesome-tunneling list, I know Anders might do that as well as he's normally around these parts :)

Thank you for letting me know.

I understand the issue with a closed-source client. It wouldn't be trivial to open source at the moment, but maybe there's a path to do it in the future.

Looks nice, but what I would really like is a proxy service like this that would proxy inbound mail traffic in addition to web traffic so I can run my own mail server behind CGNAT.

I wonder if you can do that with ngrok's TCP tunnels?
