Project mention: Show HN: Pico: An open-source Ngrok alternative built for production traffic | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-14

This is very cool! Trying to get it added to awesome-tunneling: https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling/pull/149

Related -- we also built a simple (but not production-grade) tunneling solution just for devving on our open-source project (multiplayer game server management).

We recently ran in to an issue where we need devs to be able to have a public IP with vanilla TCP+TLS sockets to hack on some parts of our software. I tried Ngrok TCP endpoints, but didn't feel comfortable requiring our maintainers to pay for SaaS just to be able to hack around with our software. Cloudflare Tunnels is awesome if you know what you're doing, but too complicated to set up.

It works by automating a Terraform plan to (a) set up a remote VM, (b) set up SSH keys, and (c) create a container that uses reverse SSH tunneling to expose a port on the host. We get the benefit of a dedicated IP + any port + no 3rd party vendors for $2.50/mo in your own cloud. All you need is a Linode access token, arguably faster and cheaper than any other reverse tunneling software.

Project mention: 2/16/24 Wyze Security Incident Update | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-19

Not my project but I have had great success with https://github.com/gtxaspec/wz_mini_hacks & V3 model.

The V3 models need to be downgraded to a specific firmware first and patching it exposes RSTP streams using https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc. Everything doable without ever installing Wyze app on an environment air gapped environment with no internet.

Many good reverse proxy solutions currently exist on the market such as ngrok and Cloudflare tunnels. They give one the ability to reliably run a tunnel and ensure it does not go down. They also offer the ability to securely access their links using whitelisted IP addresses or by using HTTP Basic Authentication.
