<p><code>zrok</code> was designed to make sharing local resources both secure and easy. In this section of the <code>zrok</code> documentation, we'll tour through all of the most important features.</p>
<p>Sharing with <code>zrok</code> can be either <ahref="/docs/next/concepts/sharing-public/"><code>public</code></a> or <ahref="/docs/next/concepts/sharing-private/"><code>private</code></a>.
Naturally, regular web-based resources can be shared but <code>zrok</code> also includes support for sharing raw <ahref="/docs/next/concepts/tunnels/">TCP</a> and <ahref="/docs/next/concepts/tunnels/">UDP</a> network connections, and also includes a <ahref="/docs/next/concepts/files/">website and file sharing</a> feature.</p>
