About:
Tcptunnel is a lightweight utility that forwards incoming TCP connections from a local port to a specified remote host and port. It acts as a simple proxy, enabling access to services behind firewalls or facilitating network debugging and testing scenarios. The tool is designed for ease of use with minimal configuration.
Key Features:
  • Lightweight and fast TCP proxy
  • Simple command-line interface
  • Supports IPv4 and IPv6
  • No external dependencies
Use Cases:
  • Forwarding traffic to services behind NAT or firewalls
  • Debugging network applications by relaying traffic
  • Load balancing simple TCP services
Alternatives:
  • socat – More versatile but with a more complex syntax
  • netcat – Often pre-installed, but less optimized for persistent forwarding
