Expose a local TCP service through a remote server with Bore, a command-line tunneling tool.
About Bore
Bore is a simple command-line TCP tunnel in Rust that exposes local ports to a remote server, bypassing standard NAT firewalls. It runs the client and server from a single binary and offers a public instance at bore.pub for quick use. An optional secret verifies the initial handshake only, with no further traffic encrypted by default.
