About:
Wstunnel creates secure TCP and UDP tunnels over WebSockets or HTTP/2 connections. It enables network access to services behind restrictive firewalls or NATs by encapsulating traffic within standard web protocols. This tool is particularly useful for bypassing network restrictions in environments where only web traffic is allowed.
|
Key Features:
- Tunnels TCP and UDP traffic over WebSockets or HTTP/2
- Supports both client and server modes for flexible deployments
- Bypasses firewalls and NATs by masquerading as web traffic
- Lightweight binary with no external dependencies
- Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)
|
Use Cases:
- Accessing internal services (SSH, databases) from outside corporate networks
- Bypassing network restrictions on public WiFi or restrictive ISPs
- Exposing local development servers to the internet for testing
- Creating secure tunnels for IoT devices behind NAT
|
Alternatives:
-
ssh -L
– SSH port forwarding requires SSH access and is easily blocked, while wstunnel uses HTTP/WebSocket protocols
-
ngrok
– ngrok is a hosted service with a free tier limit, while wstunnel is self-hosted and unlimited
-
frp
– frp is more complex to configure but offers more features for production scenarios
