Will you charge some money so you are sustainably supported and this doesn't disappear in N months? I'd love to use it and then be able to rely on it long-term.
Free services are great, but services that stick around are even better :)
Very cool idea and implementation! Will you charge some money so you are sustainably supported and this doesn't disappear in N months? I'd love to use it and then be able to rely on it long-term. Free services are great, but services that stick around are even better :)
Very cool. I switched to cloudflare tunnels from ngrok a while back after having some issues with ngrok. However, CF Tunnels were far from ergonomic or easy to use ( https://www.maxcantor.com/blog/2021-10-15-ngrok-to-cloudflar... ). I'd love a simple tool that fills the gap and I think this is it.
What is the value add over just running your own SSH server at a persistent domain? The TUI? Unlimited bandwidth? Cost?
This is not a SSH server. Yes, you can run your own SSH server at a persistent domain. But if you could run a SSH server with a persistent domain then you would not use Ngrok also right? The value is in getting public URLs for sharing your localhost instantly without any infrastructure or software setup.
I have never heard of ngrok, and have used ssh tunnels for over a decade.
I must be missing something.
Also interesting to see people had issues with ngrok. Been using ngrok since its first release and it’s always good.
ngrok can do ssh reverse too ( https://ngrok.com/docs/secure-tunnels/agentless ). Do you plan to have some difference with ngrok in this area? Also interesting to see people had issues with ngrok. Been using ngrok since its first release and it’s always good.
Looks great, but you should add an explanation about how it works. I’m hesitant to just run some command.

One use-case I had was connecting an Android app over 4g to a backend service running on my development machine, for some ad-hoc debugging. Using a tool like this was more straightforward than setting something more permanent up manually (spinning up a server, certificates, DNS, etc). Especially for someone not super familiar with how to configure the tools involved.

I wanted to try and build a simple golang library for users to add tunnel functionality to their apps while testing,
please flick me an email at henry.barker.nz@gmail.com I'd love to work with your team to try and get a MVP golang library created
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…
Also you compile your binaries staticly they will be be able to used on many more devices
