Show HN: Packetriot – Expose Local Services to the Internet

• jborak 7y ago
  Hey HN, this is the author, thanks for checking out my project and any feedback. As I built this I found alternatives, here are some differentiators: * access logs & metrics - these types of systems obscure this info (src IPs, etc...) * system health checks - probes if the destination (upstream service) is available, if not, we'll email you * self-hosted - want to host the edge server software on your own, you can do that * specification - the plan is to publish the protocol and spec so others can write clients or integrations Glad to help with questions, cheers.

  So I can use this to run servers at home without my provider throttling or detecting them? How does traffic from this appear to them?
  • jborak 7y ago
    It's built exactly for that. The tunnel is established in reverse over a websocket, so outgoing traffic from your PC is TCP:443 which looks like normal TLS traffic. I've been using this for almost 6 months and haven't seen any throttling. Your Netflix, YouTube or any other streaming traffic will dwarf what bandwidth you consume, unless we're talking terabytes...
