A P2P alternative to Ngrok or Cloudflare Tunnels using Iroh!
I've been experimenting with Iroh. As a dev one thing that I always find annoying is having to spend time working out how to either host a service on a cloud instance, use a third party like Ngrok or Cloudflare for reverse tunnelling etc. I'd like the process of showing anyone whatever is on my PC easier.
So I made this utility. I used npx because while I don't personally use it, it is by far the easiest way to get it in front of lots of devs so I can get feedback and improve it.
Build and run from source:
cargo run -- share 3000
Run with npx (no global install):
npx p2p-tunnel share 3000
On another machine (or another terminal), connect using the ticket printed by share:
cargo run -- connect <TICKET>
Or with npx:
npx p2p-tunnel connect <TICKET>
