    Nice, just today, I was trying ngrok, localtunnel, and a couple more, they all were pretty slow, fair enough for the free tier, but I'm interested in knowing is there something architecturally hard or expensive with having fast traffic?

    I love this and will definitely try it.

    I would honestly love to have it with a dockerized version with something like caddy that manages ssl so I can basically just run a docker command have it up and running.

    Thank you very much! Great stuff will give it a try.

    Cool website! Did you use any web framework or just plain HTML/CSS?

      Just plain HTML/CSS.

      I did this morning in a rush. Didn't expect anyone to compliment it. Thank you!

    Would this be able to support TCP and UDP in the future?

    • punkpeye 2 hours ago ago

      The current implementation is HTTP-focused as that was the primary use case. TCP tunneling is possible architecturally but not something I've had in mind. I suggest start by raising an issue on GitHub and adding thumbs up. If it receives enough attention, I will prioritize it. I am less familiar with what would supporting UDP entail, so cannot answer that right now.
