Zrok public beta

Exciting to see it now in public beta.

Checking if the tunnelling can be used to share API access… does this make any sense?

You would need to run zrok at the client end currently, but given that zrok now supports tcp and udp, you can use it for API access if that suits your needs, sure

It mostly depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. If this is an HTTP API you could certainly use zrok with a public share and expose it that way…

The “tunnels” in zrok are just a lower-level type of share… they’re raw TCP or UDP, and those are only bound using zrok access private. You could run a single instance of access private as a LAN gateway for an API if you wanted to use it that way.

There’s a lot of possibilities, but it depends on what you’re trying to accomplish.
