Scrcpy GUI
A simple & beautiful GUI application for scrcpy
Scrcpy was created by the team behind the popular Android emulator Genymotion, but it is not an Android emulator itself, it displays and controls Android devices connected via USB or TCP/IP, it does not require any root access. It works with GNU/Linux, Windows, and MacOS. Scrcpy works by running a server on your Android device, and the desktop application communicates using USB (or using ADB tunneling wireless). The server streams the H.264 video of the device screen. The client decodes the video frames and displays them. The client captures input (keyboard and mouse) events, sends them to the server, and the server injects them into the device. If you want to see your Android screen interact with the app or content on your desktop, record your phone screen or perform other basic tasks, then Scrcpy is a good choice. In short, Scrcpy is an excellent way to easily view your Android screen on your computer and interact with it in real time. -

Cloudflare Tunnel Client
Cloudflare Tunnel Client
Contains the command-line client for Cloudflare Tunnel, a tunneling daemon that proxies traffic from the Cloudflare network to your origins. This daemon sits between Cloudflare network and your origin (e.g. a webserver). Cloudflare attracts client requests and sends them to you via this daemon, without requiring you to poke holes on your firewall --- your origin can remain as closed as possible. Extensive documentation can be found in the Cloudflare Tunnel section of the Cloudflare Docs. All usages related with proxying to your origins are available under cloudflared tunnel help. You can also use cloudflared to access Tunnel origins (that are protected with cloudflared tunnel) for TCP traffic at Layer 4 (i.e., not HTTP/web socket), which is relevant for use cases such as SSH, RDP, etc. Such usages are available under cloudflared access help. -

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. -

SlipNet
Android VPN client with DNS tunneling (DNSTT, NoizDNS & Slipstream)
SlipNet is an anti-censorship and tunneling project centered on an Android VPN client with additional command-line support for desktop platforms. It can route traffic through multiple tunnel types, including DNS tunneling, SSH, SOCKS5, NaiveProxy, Tor, and related transport methods. The project is designed for networks where ordinary traffic may be blocked, throttled, filtered, or inspected. SlipNet includes a built-in DNS scanner, which helps users identify usable DNS paths for supported tunnel modes. Its desktop CLI can read configuration URIs and start a local SOCKS5 proxy for applications that need proxy-based routing. SlipNet is best understood as a multi-transport connectivity toolkit rather than a single-protocol VPN client. -

ngrok
Unified ingress for developers
ngrok is a globally distributed, secure reverse proxy and tunneling service that exposes applications running on local machines behind NATs or firewalls to the public internet. It simplifies remote debugging, webhooks integration, and secure ingress by wrapping reverse proxy, firewall traversal, API gateway, and load-balancing functionality into a single tool. ngrok is a globally distributed reverse proxy that secures, protects and accelerates your applications and network services, no matter where you run them. You can think of ngrok as the front door to your applications. ngrok combines your reverse proxy, firewall, API gateway, and global load balancing into one. ngrok can capture and analyze all traffic to your web service for later inspection and replay. -

MasterDnsVPN
Advanced DNS tunneling VPN for censorship bypass, optimized beyond DNS
MasterDnsVPN is a research-oriented DNS tunneling VPN project that carries TCP traffic through DNS queries and responses. It is designed for restrictive network environments where DNS may remain available even when other connection methods are limited. The project focuses on stability, speed, and compatibility across different resolver behaviors. It uses a custom protocol with ARQ, low overhead, resolver balancing, and multipath behavior to improve performance under packet loss. MasterDnsVPN also includes client and server configuration files, Docker support, and installation scripts for easier deployment. It is best understood as an experimental transport system for DNS-based tunneling rather than a general-purpose commercial VPN. -
