Description

Most tunnels hand you a new URL every time. tunnl.gg gives you the same one: connect as [email protected] and your SSH key becomes your identity, so your public HTTPS URL never changes. Register a webhook or OAuth callback once and forget it. Nothing to install, no account, works on any machine with SSH, with a QR code and live request log in your terminal. Free to use. Pro adds your own subdomains, no time limits and a request inspector. Open-source (MIT) server.

Could you build this?

Partial The front-facing concept is simple, but managing an SSH tunnel proxy with persistent key-based subdomain mapping, edge SSL termination, and high-concurrency TCP tunneling requires non-trivial networking infrastructure.

What it would actually take: This architecture requires a custom SSH server implementation (e.g., using Go's `crypto/ssh` or libssh) paired with an edge HTTP reverse proxy (like Envoy or custom Go routing). The server must authenticate public keys, map SSH key fingerprints dynamically to stable wild-card DNS subdomains, terminate TLS with Let's Encrypt automated certificates, and multiplex duplex TCP/WebSocket traffic across thousands of concurrent connections. This requires deep systems networking and infrastructure security skills.
