I put a PR up for zrok... :) https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling/pull/82

by dovholuknf 4y ago
Yes that's exactly correct. The underpinning of zrok is an OpenZiti overlay network. That network relies on a fabric of routers all meshed together. (self hosters would probably have _one_ router, but you get the point). Both ends atta

I said somewhere else in the comments I was working with a fella and he shared his vault instance with me via ngrok (zrok didn't exist at the time). So ngrok/zrok are great, dev-focused tools (p2p). (zrok might grow past being a g

We keep working on actual benchmarking but it's somewhat tricky to get reliable numbers... We're working on it now. Sometimes it's 'favorable' sometimes it's not. That's kind of a non-committal answer from

There's always a "root" of trust somewhere/somehow. Ideally it's a human that you trust. In the case of zrok, it uses a secure zero trust overlay provided by openziti. you "enabling" zrok in your shell is

Similar yes. Open source and self hostable are notable differences, but yep.

Not at this time. Right now zrok is for web (http) and file sharing. It's possible that sharing other UDP/TCP type sharing could be added in the future. Right now the overlay network (OpenZiti) would be able to support that right

by dovholuknf 4y ago
I wouldn't think so tbh. Unless whatever editor you're using is sharing a web resource... In that case, sure. If you need/want UDP/TCP type sharing you could use the underlying OpenZiti overlay network for that, but out

Trying to keep it short, I would say OpenZiti is similar to zerotier moreso than zrok. This zrok tool though is closer to ngrok. I mentioned that in another comment so hopefully that's easy enough to find in the page.

Easily sharing local resources is a common need as a dev, for sure. If I'm making changes to a web form, updating online doc, etc. it's dreadfully convenient to just share that resource for some short amount of time... I've u

It's more peer to peer file sharing and web content sharing than truly distributed sharig but with a globally available service, it's "distributed" ina way. It's not doing sharding or anything fancy like that (yet a

I am a dev on the OpenZiti project. I personally think Tailscale is more similar to OpenZiti. It's making wireguard administration really easy. zrok is very clearly based heavily on inspiration from the amazing tool called ngrok. If yo

I will look for it but there was an article like 5+ years ago that had a thesis on the break-even point for cloud and when it makes sense to start to host your OWN actual infrastructure and that it was so much further out than you expect th

I hate getting them. They pop up around election cycles. I sometimes respond nicely, but sometimes more directly to "pound the dirt"

The short answer is "probably". It depends on what you are doing, how you're doing it etc. But I think you might be looking for something like this? https://openziti.github.io/docs/core-concepts/sec

A "dark webhook" in this case just means sending data from a public server/service like a GitHub action (or even an AWS Lambda) to a server that doesn't have a port open on the internet. For example, I get a message to m

one common use is the 'try/catch' mechanic. if a panic happens in go, and you want to be able to recover you'd use a defer. it's also used in the 'autoclosable' type way. It's easy when opening a reso

I work on an open source project. It's always interesting to see how our - or other repos grow. This UI is clean, chart plots quickly, it has dynamic zoom. What else is there to want. It's my current favorite star chart util Go gi

> OpenZiti is more like a pipe with credentials That's a better way to think about it, I can see that. The idea of authorizing before connect to an open, listening port is great, but not having a listening port at all in your app is

Yes for sure. But those non-technical, big company CTOs are going to be hiring people who need to be good at hiring people. Those are going to be your VPs of engineering types. THOSE people will be 'more technical' at that point.

by dovholuknf 4y ago
There's a point when "technical enough" comes back into the picture. A gigantic company with 50k employees the CTO is barely relevant to any real tech decisions. They are tangentially related but not "in-the-weeds"

Oh well see - TIL that was a thing for tor :) Thanks for the education, I always appreciate that!!! So it's similar in that way then, indeed. Including e2ee. I guess I need to brush up on tor's capabilities again. I'm sure t

Nice! Sounds like OpenZiti is your next one to put on that list? We would __LOVE__ to have a third-party do any kind of performance testing like that and report the results. Good -- or bad! It's important to be transparent in things li

If you're interested in learning more about it in video (still need to write the content up in 'blog/article' form) you can watch me blather about it at the beginning of the talk i gave to developer week... https:/

It's similar to them, sure. you could build an ngrok alternative on top of OpenZiti. In fact we might be working on something similar that you might seeing as a Show HN soon :) SSH tunnels are similar in ways, yes but they'll suff

what a great, great question. it's a horrible term. really it means you have "no trust of the network, so you verify it before allowing connections"... The term is basically the OPPOSITE of what it is. You use a strong identi
