Re: Show HN: Quick tunnels to localhost with one command and no binary download
#2Hello HN! Yes this is just like ngrok. But do not need to download any binary to get started.
You can even get a persistent subdomain by signing in. A binary client is optional for more features like stats about visitors.
The server is not a ssh server. It however uses the protocol.
More about TLS and TCP tunnels coming soon :)
Please give it a try and we would love some feedback:

#3Do you support introspec? I don't see any documentation.

By introspec do you mean viewing the details of requests coming to the tunnel? If so then it is a work in progress feature that would be available very soon.
However that will be available through the client binary. We are brainstorming if it can also be made possible without the binary.
Documentation regarding this will be added soon.

#5This is a pretty elegant solution. I’m a fan of using existing tools where’ve possible.

#6Hey. Thanks for this.
I can't give up ngrok (which I find too expensive) without the ability to view and replay requests. That's a must have for me personally

Yes, this is one feature we are working on currently and us almost ready. We will keep you posted if you sign up.

Glad you find this neat. We are also trying to build introspect capability without using the client binary.

#9One of the ways to extend the functionality of the service without requiring a binary client is to present a text UI over ssh.

#10I used to use a similar tool called inlets but they removed the open licensing. I now self host a sish server (https://github.com/antoniomika/sish) which also uses ssh (and public key auth) for the reverse tunnel client. So much simpler!
