This is interesting. Ngrok also released a go library recently allowing you to use it directly inside of API. Loving the direction for all these tunnel technologies. I wish there was a simple open source and self hosted version of this.

OpenZiti project is 100% open source and has SDKs for many languages - e.g., Go, Python, C, C#, Java, NodeJS, Javascript, Kotlin, Swift, etc. We also built zrok which is a 'ziti-native' app to prvide ngrok type functionality. It is open source and can be self-hosted if you wish - https://zrok.io/ https://zrok.io/.

Not sure I understand? The one from Tailscale is open source, and you can self-host it (they mention putting it on fly.io, for example), or run it on a home computer.

  Unless I am mistaken, only the Tailscale endpoints are open source (e.g., this SDK), the control and dataplane is closed source. While Headscale exists I am not aware of it providing Funnel functionality. I understand the Funnel infra is all hosted and managed by Tailscale so you cannot self-host.

    Headscale seems to implement (almost?) all of the current Tailscale functionality, so I wouldn't be surprised if they added support for this too. They even seem to be friendly with the Tailscale folks.

      It's not easy and you end up running into all sorts of issues in practice. I gave up. You download the official client and Little Snitch goes crazy because it connects to so many unknown addresses.

        That's Tailscale finding the nearest DERP relay, measuring timings to different locations.

        This may help you quiet, or train, Little Snitch... https://tailscale.com/kb/1082/firewall-ports/ https://tailscale.com/kb/1082/firewall-ports/
