Open Source BSD Tunneling Software - Page 4

Command line and wxWidgets UI for an HTTP(S) proxy that can tunnel web requests over one or more SSH tunnels to one or more web specified servers, while using a direct connection for all other traffic.

tunnelto is a Rust-based local tunneling tool that exposes a locally running web server through a public URL. It is designed for developers who need to test webhooks, demos, APIs, or in-progress applications without deploying them to a public server. The project includes both a hosted service model and self-hosting support, giving teams flexibility depending on their workflow and infrastructure needs. Its async architecture is built on Tokio, which helps it handle network connections efficiently. tunnelto is especially useful during development because it reduces the friction of sharing local work with clients, teammates, or third-party platforms. Its focus is simple: make a private local port reachable from the internet with minimal setup.

xkcptun is a C-language implementation of kcptun built on KCP and libevent2. It is mainly designed for embedded and router-oriented environments such as LEDE and OpenWrt, where lightweight networking tools are often preferred. The project provides client and server components that use KCP-based tunneling to improve performance over unreliable or high-latency network links. It also includes a spy utility, making the generated build more than a minimal two-binary tunnel setup. xkcptun can be built with CMake and supports static linking for easier deployment on constrained systems. It is most relevant to users who need a compact KCP tunnel implementation for routers, gateways, and custom network appliances.

Zoro is a Go-based tunneling tool for exposing local services to an external network. It supports TCP and UDP forwarding, which makes it useful for HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, DNS, and other network services. The project follows a simple client-and-server model where the remote server opens an external port and forwards traffic back to a local service. It also includes HTTPS-specific server and client modes that can map local HTTP services to subdomains under a configured domain. Zoro is designed around minimal configuration, making it practical when users need a quick way to publish a private service without a full reverse proxy stack. Its main value is straightforward local-to-public service exposure across different protocol types.
