OutRay is an open source alternative to ngrok that lets developers expose local servers to the internet under their own control. It supports self-hosted tunneling for webhooks, demos, and internal dashboards without vendor lock-in or hidden limits.

What to expect from an ideal product

  1. OutRay lets you run your own tunnel server instead of relying on third-party services, giving you complete ownership of your data and traffic flow
  2. You can expose local web applications and APIs to the internet through secure HTTP tunnels without opening firewall ports or configuring complex networking
  3. The self-hosted approach means your sensitive development data never passes through external servers, keeping your localhost traffic private and under your control
  4. TCP tunnel support allows you to share databases, SSH connections, and other non-web services from your local machine with remote team members or testing environments
  5. Built-in integration with development workflows lets you quickly spin up public URLs for localhost applications during coding, testing, and continuous integration processes
