UPDATE 2026-08-10: I did a lot of backlog cleanup over the weekend. I used AI to help with automation and write comments, but I tried to make all the yes/no decisions myself. Some things almost certainly slipped through the cracks. If you feel your issue/PR was closed in error, please comment so I can take a closer look.
UPDATE 2026-02-16: Given the sensitive nature of tunneling tools, I'm going to start requiring at least 100 GitHub stars on any new additions. Projects not hosted on GitHub and commercial offerings will be handled case-by-case. Feel free to open an issue if you see a problem with this policy.
What is this list for
The purpose of this list is to track and compare tunneling solutions. This is
primarily targeted toward self-hosters and developers who want to do things
like exposing a local webserver via a public domain name, with automatic HTTPS,
even if behind a NAT or other restricted network.
The dream
I started this list because I'm looking for a simple tool/service that does the
following:
- Allows me to register a domain name and automatically points the records at
the server running the tunnels.
- Automatically sets up and manages HTTPS certificates (apex and subdomains)
for the domain.
- Provides a client tool that tunnels HTTP/TCP connections through the server
without requiring root on the client.
- Provides a simple GUI interface to allow me to map X domain/subdomain to Y port
on Z client, and proxy all connections to that domain.
So far I haven't found a tool that does all of this. In particular, while some
of them can do automatic certs through Let's Encrypt, none of them integrate
the domain registration and DNS management in a simple way.
Recommendations
- For most people, I currently recommend Cloudflare Tunnel. Although it's closed source, this is the production-quality service that gets the closest to achieving the dream. It's also a loss-leader for Cloudflare's other products which means they can offer it for free.
- If you want to self-host, there are many options. For something production ready I would look at Pangolin or frp. If you're a developer and want something very simple, I'd recommend starting with my own SirTunnel project and modifying it for your needs.
