It doesn't work with dropbear ssh client or the golang standard ssh library https://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/crypto/ssh ./dbclient -R 0.0.0.0:0:localhost:5000 b.pinggy.io -p 7878 ./dbclient: Remote TCP forward request failed (port 0 -> localhost:5000) I wanted to try and build a simple golang library for users to add tunnel functionality to their apps while testing, pleas…

One of the ways to extend the functionality of the service without requiring a binary client is to present a text UI over ssh.

Thank a lot for this pointer. We are trying to find out a safe way of enabling a text UI through ssh.

Great service! Could you consider allowing for ports other than 7878? Would be nice in restricted network environments. Like that of my company; it's allowing only the more common ports to WAN.

Would port 443 work for you. Feel free to join our slack to discuss. https://join.slack.com/t/pinggycommunity/shared_invite/zt-1n...
