Show HN: Pipenet – A Modern Alternative to Localtunnel

Hey HN!

localtunnel's server needs random ports per client. That doesn't work on Fly.io or behind strict firewalls.

We rewrote it in TypeScript and added multiplexing over a single port. Open-source and 100% self-hostable.

Public instance at *.pipenet.dev if you don't want to self-host.

Built at Glama for our MCP Inspector, but it's a generic tunnel with no ties to our infra.
