Wstunnel is a Rust-based tunneling tool that carries arbitrary TCP and UDP traffic over WebSocket or HTTP/2. It is designed to help users reach resources through networks where direct traffic may be blocked, filtered, or difficult to route. Because WebSocket is compatible with regular HTTP infrastructure, wstunnel can work through many reverse proxies, firewalls, and web-oriented network paths. The tool supports client and server modes, static binaries, Docker deployment, reverse tunneling, SOCKS5, HTTP proxying, and multiple transport options. It is useful for developers, administrators, and advanced users who need flexible tunneling for SSH, databases, internal web services, or other authorized network access. Its Rust implementation focuses on portability, performance, and practical deployment without requiring a Node.js runtime.
