Installing a client always opens up these risks. That is why I am building a clientless tunneling service ( well technically you bring your own client ) - https://pinggy.io https://pinggy.io which is similar to ngrok but you can connect using your own ssh client such as openssh.
- lxgr 3y agoThis article is about a VPN service. How does a clientless ngrok alternative help here (which tunnels server traffic), and why is it even necessary given that many OSes support at least one VPN protocol natively?
- ghoshbishakh 3y agoI am saying this attack works only because a client is installed on the device, and that client is malicious. If there was a standard client such as openvpn client (open source) then this attack will not be possible. That is becasue, the vpn provider will not have any means of using the user's device to send arbitrary network packets to any server to launch a ddos.
