One new feature I haven't highlighted yet, is that you can, in addition, encrypt traffic as it goes through relays (both via tls or noise-inspired protocol, dhxcp). This enhances privacy, even when you are using public (e.g. not owned by you relays), covering a case like https://connet.dev nicely.

Curious: why do you see ngrok as just for testing and dev when thousands of users use ngrok in production?
Full disclosure I work there.

Why route all traffic through a tunnel for a production setup? On-premise solutions will use static IPs from their ISPs.
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.

Thanks, it would be great to hear if you tried connet and how it went!
In any case, homegrown solutions are great, they offer the most flexibility, but also require the biggest time investment (and knowledge of course).

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)
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
