How do you tell Pinggy is closer to ngrok than Tailscale? To me (I've never used any of these services) they all look more or less the same, with slightly different interfaces. I wouldn't know how to distinguish a more secure option from a less secure one.

I see somebody else also mentioned Raspberry Pi itself has a similar service.

Taking a quick look at the article, it seems like you route traffic through Pinggy, whereas Tailscale is mostly (minus the TURN stuff) peer to peer with some NAT-busting


The main difference is that Pinggy works via a public IP, whereas Tailscale is a private network overlay. Pinggy falls into the bucket of solutions like ngrok, zrok, Tailscale 'Funnel', Cloudflare Tunnel etc.
