Personally I’m happier to use wireguard to access my network. I don’t know when I’d ever want a pure SSH tunnelling solution.
Cloudflare Tunnel uses Wireguard under the hood.

#33Unfortunately the cloudflared software, while the source is available on GitHub, and there are pull requests open and accepted for it, is not under an open source license, and the license it is under does not allow modifications, so any modifications (including the aformentioned pull requests) are contrary to the license and thus copyright law and thus illegal.

Hello from the Cloudflare team - thanks for the nudge. We're in the process of migrating away from the proprietary license to an Apache license. We'll update the GitHub issue too; should be wrapped up in the next couple of weeks but likely sooner.

Breaking a contract is not illegal. Seems to be a common misconception.
Its copyright law that is being broken here that makes it illegal, not breaking the license/contract.

In civil law countries it is. Also you can be sued for it.

Excellent, thanks for the update. Apache isn't what I would have chosen but is reasonable enough.

No, pull requests are not illegal, at least when done on Github, because by posting code on Github (that you are allowed to post) you grant Github and its users certain rights:

That license doesn't allow modifications, which is what pull requests are. The forking thing is only about making copies, not modifications.

#39If you like this, you’re gonna love Tailscale https://tailscale.com/
I love Tailscale, but it’s not really designed for public tunnels. You can do it, but you typically need to provision some kind of proxy with a static IP (most likely cloud based) to handle your public stuff.

#40wasn't that the idea of ssh to begin with?
