About:
Bore-cli is a lightweight TCP tunnel written in Rust that forwards local ports to a remote server. It prioritizes simplicity and performance, allowing users to expose local services to the internet without complex configuration. The tool consists of a server component that runs on a public machine and a client that connects to it.
Key Features:
  • Zero-configuration setup with automatic TLS encryption
  • High-performance Rust implementation with low resource usage
  • Supports multiple concurrent tunnels through a single connection
  • Cross-platform compatibility (Linux, macOS, Windows)
Use Cases:
  • Exposing local web development servers for remote testing or sharing
  • Accessing internal services behind NAT or firewalls
  • Providing temporary public endpoints for demos and webhooks
Alternatives:
  • ngrok – ngrok offers more features but requires account setup and has usage limits on free tier
  • localtunnel – localtunnel is Node.js-based and easier to set up but less performant than bore's Rust implementation
  • ssh -R – SSH reverse tunneling is powerful but requires SSH server access and is more complex to configure
