tup - open source self-hosted tunnel proxy

tup proxies services on the local network to a remote gateway, all traffic between the remote server and the service on the local network is sent through a wireguard tunnel

think of tup as an open source and self-hosted alternative to ngrok and cloudflare tunnel

tupd (the server) can be found at: https://drive.proton.me/urls/GEJM1HT0DW#aOop4p7zxaPA

the tup client can be found at: https://drive.proton.me/urls/63SE9PW020#GFzZrprg9wjZ

Any links to the actual sources and not just random proton links?

Github comes up with a file-based build system for tup.
- Same thought here, why uploading it to proton drive? github isnt evil that they trying to snatch that code or whatever. If you are so cautious then ramp up a gitea or gitlab self hosted instance up.
  
  You are welcome to upload it to any git instance you want, I'm not interested in leading an open-source project like this
- Those random proton drive links are the sources, and only the sources
  
  If you want people to take you seriously about being open source, you need to have a git repo, like github, gitlab, etc. you can even self host one. Heck, you can even use a different (non git) DVCS, but not just a link to a cloud drive...

I use rathole for this purpose. Works great, minimal, great performance.
- Also an great option, I have tried many from https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling but I've never tried rathole
Providing links like this on a forum sounds like a trap, it's sad that you got so many downvotes for the lack of explanation (as given in comments).

A few more questions remain... Why did you program this? As in, how is this different or better than the alternatives?

There are so many! IMHO that's a problem, as a user I don't know how to decide..!
- Absolutely, I would also be skeptic, it's why I made it fully inspectable before any download
  
  It is hard to summarize that exactly, I think it's a more dynamic and configurable and minimal way to manage tunnels and simple proxies for me, in the readmes and the examples it says and shows what it supports more in detail
  
  Believe me I also had the same problem, and still has, but nothing is a one fits all for these things
  
  Thanks for the comment and questions
