I already had 2x 5070's that I had purchased a year or more ago, so getting an additional two to fill up the PCIe slots on the motherboard seemed reasonable. I did some math/shopping as well. To get 48GB of VRAM you can get 2x 30

I'm using 4x RTX 5070's and first-gen AMD threadripper (1950X) to run Qwen3.6 27B (MTP) Q6_K with llama.cpp and it works great as a daily driver with Pi. Around 50-60 toks/sec. I also connect a few other applications to it

I run Packetriot: https://packetriot.com , which is an alternative to ngrok. It's been in operation for 6-ish years and reached $500/month in year two. It doesn't replace my salary (yet) but that's what I&#x

Our services were used for C2 as well. I investigated it a bit but eventually decided to just drop TCP forwarding from our free-tier and that reduced our abuse/malware reports for C2 over TCP to zero essentially. One path I looked at

Thanks for sharing this. I run packetriot.com, another tunneling service and I ended up writing my own scanner for endpoints using keyword lists I gathered from various infosec resources. I had done some account filtering for origins comin

I built a similar service as well called Packetriot: https://packetriot.com Building these types of tunneling systems are great projects. You learn a lot and can master skills in many different areas. Packetriot has been operat

I build a secure tunneling service called Packetriot ($2k/mo) https://packetriot.com . Similar to ngrok with our own differences and approach. I also publish another product called Spokes Gateway which builds on the tunneli

I use ProtonMail and overall it works pretty good and the value is great. The product is focused on security first so I think user experience suffers a bit. It's works fine but if you previously used a mail client like Spark on your

https://packetriot.com Provides HTTP/S and TCP tunneling and is a comprehensive alternative to ngrok. I started it in Jan 2019. $4.3k ARR in 2020.

It's great to have options and alternatives. I feel like calling your application a copy-cat is being harsh. What you've discovered is that there is a now a market of providers for the category of your application. If there was

A lot of people have seen the Clint Eastwood "Man with no name" westerns but if you haven't watched "Once Upon a Time in the West" I would definitely check it out. One of the best movies I've seen and if you&#

I wrote a tunneling service called Packetriot that is similar. It's probably slightly older than inlets. However, it's not an opensource project. The tunnels are assigned static hostnames and the servers you connect to are stat

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 a

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...)

DO has bandwidth included in the price of the droplet and if you exceed then you pay a fair price for the additional bandwidth. For the cheapest droplet ($5/mo) you are provided 1TB of bandwidth. What they also do is take the all the

I have 4 edge servers that are small VMs at the moment. For the number of users I have more than enough capacity. I also have a separate server that has more resources for the main site and APIs. I use DO, altogether hosting costs are $40

Packetriot ( https://packetriot.com ) - around 4 months old and I haven't begun seriously marketing, but it generates $60/month and makes a tiny profit. With it you can create a secure public endpoints (HTTP/TCP) fr
