UFTP
Encrypted UDP based FTP with multicast
UFTP is an encrypted multicast file transfer program, designed to securely, reliably, and efficiently transfer files to multiple receivers simultaneously. This is useful for distributing large files to a large number of receivers, and is especially useful for data distribution over a satellite link (with two way communication), where the inherent delay makes any TCP based communication highly inefficient. The multicast encryption scheme is based on TLS with extensions to allow multiple receivers to share a common key. UFTP also has the capability to communicate over disjoint networks separated by one or more firewalls (NAT traversal) and without full end-to-end multicast capability (multicast tunneling) through the use of a UFTP proxy server. These proxies also provide scalability by aggregating responses from a group of receivers. -

Ligolo-ng
An advanced, yet simple, tunneling/pivoting tool
Ligolo-ng is a simple, lightweight and fast tool that allows pentesters to establish tunnels from a reverse TCP/TLS connection using a tun interface (without the need of SOCKS). When running the relay/proxy server, a tun interface is used, packets sent to this interface are translated and then transmitted to the agent's remote network. You need to download the Wintun driver (used by WireGuard) and place the wintun.dll in the same folder as Ligolo. You can listen to ports on the agent and redirect connections to your control/proxy server. You can easily hit more than 100 Mbits/sec. Here is a test using iperf from a 200Mbits/s server to a 200Mbits/s connection. -

Wiretap
Wiretap is a transparent, VPN-like proxy server that tunnels traffic
Wiretap is a transparent, VPN-like proxy server that tunnels traffic through WireGuard. It is designed to proxy traffic without requiring special privileges to run, which makes it different from many traditional VPN tools that depend on privileged network interface setup. The project focuses on transparent routing, allowing client traffic to move through WireGuard-based paths toward the intended destination. Its documentation describes an end-to-end encryption model where packets are forwarded through Wiretap nodes until they reach the intended server, which then sends traffic to the real network destination. Wiretap is useful for research, security labs, and controlled environments where users want WireGuard-style tunneling with proxy-like behavior. It is best understood as a specialized networking tool rather than a general consumer VPN client. -

piko
An open-source alternative to Ngrok, designed to serve production
Piko is an open-source reverse proxy and tunneling system designed as a self-hostable alternative to ngrok. It lets upstream services open outbound-only connections to Piko, then routes incoming traffic back through those established tunnels. This design is useful for services that are private, behind NAT, firewalled, or otherwise not publicly routable. Piko is built for production-oriented hosting rather than only short-lived development demos. It supports a server and agent model, with the agent running near the upstream service and forwarding traffic from named endpoints to local ports. The project also includes Kubernetes-oriented deployment guidance, clustering behavior, and a single binary that can run in both server and agent modes. -

Bastillion
Web-based SSH console that centrally manages administrative access
Bastillion is a web-based SSH console that centrally manages administrative access to systems. Web-based administration is combined with the management and distribution of user's public SSH keys. Key management and administration is based on profiles assigned to defined users. Administrators can login using two-factor authentication with Authy or Google Authenticator. From there they can manage their public SSH keys or connect to their systems through a web-shell. Commands can be shared across shells to make patching easier and eliminate redundant command execution. Bastillion layers TLS/SSL on top of SSH and acts as a bastion host for administration. Protocols are stacked (TLS/SSL + SSH) so infrastructure cannot be exposed through tunneling / port forwarding. -
