Drip is an open-source, self-hosted tunneling solution that lets you expose local services to the internet securely on your own terms. Inspired by the idea of “lighting a small lamp on your network,” Drip creates encrypted tunnels through your own infrastructure without relying on third-party servers, giving you full control over traffic direction and network endpoints. The project supports unlimited tunnels and bandwidth, making it suitable for both development and production scenarios where conventional reverse proxies may not suffice. It is written primarily in Go, which enables high performance and cross-platform deployment with minimal overhead. Drip includes a rich command-line interface for configuring, launching, and managing tunnels and supports transport protocol selection and access control features.
