Your Tunnel, Your Domain, Anywhere.
Drip is a self-hosted tunneling solution to securely expose your services to the internet — on your infrastructure, on your terms.
Tunnel establishedhttps://myapp.your-domain.comWhy Drip
Stop renting access to your own network. Keep traffic between your client and your server.
Control your data
No third-party servers. Traffic stays between your client and your server.
No limits
Run as many tunnels as you need. Bandwidth is limited only by your infrastructure.
Actually free
Use your own domain. No paid tiers, feature gates, or artificial quotas.
Built for real workflows
HTTP / HTTPS / TCP
Expose web apps, APIs, databases, SSH, and anything else.
WSS Transport
WebSocket over TLS transport works through CDNs like Cloudflare and restrictive firewalls.
Forward to any address
Not just localhost — forward to LAN devices, Docker containers, or any interface.
HTTP Basic Auth
Protect your tunnels with username and password authentication out of the box.
Background mode
Run tunnels in the background, list sessions, attach logs, and stop cleanly.
Compared to ngrok Free
Same idea, very different tradeoffs. Own your infrastructure and remove all artificial limits.
