#15There 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…
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.
Sorry if it does not fit your business model, but in my opinion, it would be plainly stupid for anyone to download and run on his machine or server a closed source binary, especially when the goal is to give remote access through internet. And so that it is expected that this binary will open a direct pipe with the internet...

You may want to check your spam folder. We've had an issue with that already. Sorry for the inconvenience.

#17Have to echo others: closed source, allowing internet access to my system, and unproven just doesn’t meet any minimum safe risk thresholds. I wish you luck, but the market is tight and being unable to assess code quality would be an absolute non-starter for my personal and professional buying decisions.

Personally I agree with your opinion. While we're open to code audits with clients, it's not a scalable solution. We'll consider open sourcing the client code.

Thank you for writing sish! We’ve been using sish as a self-hosted alternative to ngrok because of how easy and flexible it is to configure and because it allows us to tunnel to devices without installing any extra device-side software (since it uses ssh).
I highly recommend it among all the other great projects on the awesome-tunneling list

Literally any pre-compiled binary could do nefarious things... why make a big deal out of this one?
