About:
Zrok is a secure, open-source sharing platform that enables users to share web services and files instantly with a public or private URL. Built on OpenZiti's zero-trust networking capabilities, it provides end-to-end encrypted tunnels without requiring complex firewall configurations. This allows developers to safely expose local services for testing or temporary sharing.
Key Features:
  • Zero-trust security via OpenZiti overlay network
  • Instant public and private sharing modes
  • Built-in web interface for file uploads
  • Support for TCP/UDP tunneling
  • Self-hostable architecture
Use Cases:
  • Exposing local development servers for remote testing
  • Securely sharing files or data with temporary links
  • Creating on-demand access to internal services
  • Bypassing NAT/firewall restrictions safely
Alternatives:
  • ngrok – Zrok is open-source and self-hostable, while ngrok is primarily a hosted SaaS with proprietary components
  • Cloudflare Tunnel – Zrok is simpler to deploy for quick sharing, while Cloudflare Tunnel requires more configuration but integrates with a broader ecosystem
