Show HN: Oscilla – Free ngrok alternative for sharing localhost on the 'net

1•clowerweb•1mo ago

``` npm i -g oscilla-cli oscilla <port> ```

Free tier with 1 connection, $5 for unlimited connections & custom subdomains. Absolutely private with E2E SSL and no logging.

Happy to hear any feedback!

I love the idea, but most of the alternatives give up because it will be abused fraudulently soon and you might be liable in the face of the law because of your ip-adress and domain.

I really don't want to kill the fun, but there are risks that are real.

Thanks for the feedback! Any tips for how this might be remedied? Limit free tier to 1 hour per tunnel? Clear ToS and liability terms? Some form of automated abuse monitoring? I don't imagine it would be any more liable than ngrok itself. But yeah, you make some great points!

The last one i knew was: https://serveo.net/ and it seems to be gone. The decline came in waves. First he made a full-stop, then put in some mittigations and gave up in the end.
