    I like it. Here's how I see the marketplace:

    Quick demonstrations & development: ngrok

    Low-resource environments (IoT, embedded): rathole

    Privacy-focused deployments: connet

    Production with active community: FRP

    Self-hosting with direct connections: connet

    Interestingly I just did this with my own reverse proxy recently; nginx proxy manager in a container running on the network of a Tailscale container on the same host, connected to a Tailscale exit node on internal network. Will take a look at whether this is better.

    This reminds me a bit about gsocket[1], except that it seems slightly more configurable and not just intended to be a backdoor.

    Hi All,

    This is a hosted version of connet[1]. In addition, it allows users to expose their endpoints directly on the internet (optional and still in progress)
