Looking for ngrok alternative
Looking for ngrok alternative
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.

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:

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.
-
-
I use zerotier. It's excellent.
-
+1 this is what I use
-
-
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.
-
If you already own a domain name, you could use Cloudflare tunnels using cloudflared (it's free).
-
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.
-
I use tail scale to get on the LAN and Rustdesk for desktops, webuis or SSH once in.

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.
