Looking for ngrok alternative (feddit.de)

I am looking something to connect to my server from outside my local network.

I am on a shared IP and my ISP doesn't have port forwarding.

This seems like it might be a perfect use case for Tailscale. The open source version of the control plane is called Headscale but you'd have to host it in a vps somewhere if you wanted to use it.

[–] rizoid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 8 months ago

Tailscale is probably your best option.

frp, or just anything on awesome-tunnel at GitHub list

Cloudflare Tunnels are black magic and exactly what you're looking for:

https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/

Free, no need to self host a server somewhere externally. Can even be used for SSH!

I am upvoting this - also moved to Cloudflare from ngrok it's much simpler to use

Do you have any external server available to you? If yes you could use that to set up a VPN connection or SSH tunnel.

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I use zerotier. It's excellent.

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

+1 this is what I use

[–] tiny@midwest.social 2 points 8 months ago

I use headscale and headscaleui but I've heard things about net bird and netmaker

OpenVPN

If you are fine with ipv6, I'd use yggdrasil.

Just install it on any number of devices and each of them become part of a single «local» ipv6 network.

[–] TheLugal@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Yggdrasil Network might be an alternative.

It's a breeze to set up, just be mindful about setting up your firewall and allowed keys, depending on your use case.

If you already own a domain name, you could use Cloudflare tunnels using cloudflared (it's free).

[–] AustralianSimon@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I use tail scale to get on the LAN and Rustdesk for desktops, webuis or SSH once in.
