The purpose of this list is to track and compare tunneling solutions. This is
primarily targeting toward developers who want to do things like exposing a
local webserver via a public address.

# Software
# Things to look out for when comparing solutions
* Underlying multiplexing technology. In particular, if a solution uses
TCP-over-TCP (ie any of them that are built on SSH), it'll be subject to
rather severe [issues](http://sites.inka.de/bigred/devel/tcp-tcp.html).
* Source code availability. Some of the best options are closed source only.
* Does it require root to run the client? For example, anything built on
WireGuard will likely have great performance (on systems where it's built
into the kernel at least), but typically requires elevated permissions to
create the tun devices.
# The tools
* [ngrok 2.0](https://ngrok.com/) - Probably the gold standard and most popular. Closed source. Lots of features, including TLS and TCP tunnels. Doesn't require root to run client.
* [localtunnel](https://github.com/localtunnel) - Written in node. Popular suggestion.
