• Tailscale Is Pretty Useful

  Thanks for the feedback, tons in there. - Agreed. OpenZiti is not trying to focus on indie hosts. It has the goal to completely transform how networking and connectivity are done, to make secure by default and a simple user experience the de facto standard. - Our path to do this definitely depends on monetising enterprise rather than indiehosters. That said, you can build abstractions on OpenZiti, which are much... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Tailscale Is Pretty Useful

  For replacing port forwarding, OpenZiti definitely works. zrok, which is built on top of OpenZiti, could also be a great option for sharing resources - https://zrok.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Ask HN: What's your app idea that you don't have the time or motivation to build

  Sounds like ngrok SDKs (https://ngrok.com/categories/sdks), but its closed source so I guess falls foul of your 3rd party solution comment. Another option could be zrok (https://zrok.io/), which is an alternative that is open source, and also includes SDKs - https://blog.openziti.io/the-zrok-sdk. I work on its parent project, OpenZiti, which also may fit your idea. Either way, its a programmatic way to embed... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Launch HN: Firezone (YC W22) – Zero-trust access platform built on WireGuard

  Through OpenZiti into the mix too - https://openziti.io/. Its open source and was designed from the ground up with zero trust, SDN, and deny-by-default principles. It also includes SDKs to allow developers to embed ZTN as part of the SDLC. We also built zrok (https://zrok.io/) on top of it, as a demonstration of a 'ziti-native' app, and being a better Ngrok. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

  Another option is using zrok - https://zrok.io/. Its open source so you could build it directly into Bluesky and either host the backend yourself or use the zrok free SaaS.

• Ask HN: What new shell tools have recently excited you?

  Not so much a shell tool, just a tool that one controls with the shell, but https://zrok.io/ really is amazing. It can serve the purpose of ngrok making local stuff accessible globally, but with a really cool open distributed backend system. Bluetuith looks amazing although I haven't tried it yet or had a use case. But it should be fantastic for setting up Bluetooth on a raspberry pi. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Cloudflare Tunnel vs some other option?

  You could use zrok.io. It's an open source alternative which can be self-hosted or has a free SaaS. It also includes cool features like 'private sharing' (which means both sides can be private with no inbound ports) and recently implemented 0Auth for front end authentication - https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/175hehy/zrok\_office\_hours\_oauth\_public\_frontend/.

• Serve a service/port on IPFS instead of content, ngrok decentralized alternative?

  I made some research about openziti and zrok, they seem to be more tailored to be self-hosted and to act as a more secure and private type of VPS or reverse proxy, or we can also use their public zrok.io instance which will kinda fall back into the same problem of having to trust a single entity. But it's much better in the sense that it's open source and if their zrok.io instance goes down, anyone can host a new... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Serve a service/port on IPFS instead of content, ngrok decentralized alternative?

  I see. Maybe this is achievable with the open source project I work on called OpenZiti - https://openziti.io/docs/. It's a zero trust overlay network which builds outbound-only connections at source and destination. We have an open source ngrok replacement, too, built on Ziti - https://zrok.io/.
