What is rustunnel?

rustunnel is an open-source tunneling service that exposes local applications, webhooks, and AI agents to the public internet over encrypted connections. It offers both a managed pay-as-you-go service starting at $3/month and free self-hosting under AGPL. The platform prioritizes cost efficiency by charging only for active tunnel time, never for idle connections.

Built in Rust for speed and security, rustunnel includes an integrated MCP server that works with AI coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Cline, allowing agents to create and manage tunnels through natural language commands. Features include HTTP/TCP/UDP proxying, live dashboards, Prometheus metrics, audit logging, and support for multiple geographic regions.
