Built another localhost tunneling tool because I kept forgetting my ngrok auth token.

What it does:

- Expose localhost to the internet (HTTP/TCP/WebSockets) - Zero signup – just works immediately - Free

Nothing groundbreaking, just scratching my own itch for a no-friction tunnel service. Written in Go.

Link: https://tunnl.gg

Happy to answer questions or hear how you'd improve it.

That's really cool. I guess this is an alternative to ngrok (which I like but hate due to having to sign in).
klipitkas•1h ago
Yes, its free to use and does not require any clients (but you need to have ssh client installed)

Not many people know that you can use cloudflare tunnels without signing up.

Love the approach, simplicity and concept. SPA works fine if entry point is / if /terms /privacy greated with 404.
klipitkas•26m ago
Hey, thanks for the comment. I am having a look with my own apps and it seems to work with pages and nextjs middleware as well.
rany_•33m ago
This is a great idea but I'm a bit concerned about your bandwidth costs and illegal/malicious content being hosted used under your domain.

For the second point, you might want to implement some kind of browser warning similar to what Ngrok does.

klipitkas•28m ago
Thats a fair point, there are some protections in place for abuse already. I will have a look at what ngrok does for browser warnings. Thanks a lot for the suggestions.

Be aware of threat actors, too: you're giving them an easy data exfil route without the hassle and risk of them having to set up their own infrastructure.

Back in the day you could have stood up something like this and worried about abuse later. Unfortunately, now, a decent proportion early users of services like this do tend to be those looking to misuse it.

How are you able to host it for free?
klipitkas•22m ago
I am paying for it out of pocket. Its free for you to use, but not for me to host it :)
stevekemp•15m ago
If you keep this up you'll want to add yourself to the public suffix list:

https://publicsuffix.org/

You should also consider grouping your random hostnames under a dedicated subdomain. e.g. "xxx-xxx-xxx.users.tunnl.gg", that separates out cookies and suchlike.

How does this compare to cloudflare or even a self-hosted tailscale tunnel?

Also do you collect any data? Privacy says

> We do not collect, store, or sell your personal data.

But I guess personal data is a bit ambiguous. You're at the very least collecting my IP (which is fine, I'm just curious)

You are mentioning it's encrypted end-to-end; please explain how your server is unable to read the contents of the stream?

How is it different to ngrok? Genuinely curious, I might switch.
