One binary, one VPS, no accounts. Expose localhost to the internet over a single QUIC connection — on infrastructure you fully own. Built for sharing dev servers, testing webhooks, demoing work in progress, and reaching browser-native services over WebTransport . Two ways to use it: That's it. Your local dev server is now reachable on the internet, over HTTPS, through a server you run. --- Where rift fits Self-hosted tunnels already exist — frp, bore, chisel. Most ride on TCP by default; frp has supported QUIC as an opt-in transport since v0.50. rift is built QUIC-first — there is no TCP fallback for the control or data plane — and that focus is what gives you three things you do not get over TCP: - No head-of-line blocking between tunnels. On TCP, a lost packet on one multiplexed stream stalls every other stream on the same connection until it's retransmitted. QUIC isolates streams, so a hiccup on your API tunnel doesn't freeze your database tunnel. - Connection migration. Switch from Wi-Fi to a hotspot, toggle your VPN, change networks mid-session — the QUIC connection survives without reconnecting or re-authenticating. - TLS 1.3 is part of the handshake , not layered on top. Encrypted from the first byte, in fewer round trips. If your network blocks UDP/443 (some corporate and café networks do), TCP-based tools will punch through more reliably. Otherwise QUIC is a cleaner foundation for what tunnels actually do.
