  "github_readme_excerpt": "# bore\n\n[![Build status](https://img.shields.io/github/actions/workflow/status/ekzhang/bore/ci.yml)](https://github.com/ekzhang/bore/actions)\n[![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/bore-cli.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/bore-cli)\n\nA modern, simple TCP tunnel in Rust that exposes local ports to a remote server, bypassing standard NAT connection firewalls. **That\u0027s all it does: no more, and no less.**\n\n![Video demo](https://i.imgur.com/vDeGsmx.gif)\n\n```shell\n# Installation (requires Rust, see alternatives below)\ncargo install bore-cli\n\n# On your local machine\nbore local 8000 --to bore.pub\n```\n\nThis will expose your local port at `localhost:8000` to the public internet at `bore.pub:\u003cPORT\u003e`, where the port number is assigned randomly.\n\nSimilar to [localtunnel](https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel) and [ngrok](https://ngrok.io/), except `bore` is intended to be a highly efficient, unopinionated tool for forwarding TCP traffic that is simple to install and easy to self-host, with no frills attached.\n\n(`bore` totals about 400 lines of safe, async Rust code and is trivial to set up \u2014 just run a single binary for the client and server.)\n\n## Installation\n\n### macOS\n\n`bore` is packaged as a Homebrew core formula.\n\n```shell\nbrew install bore-cli\n```\n\n### Linux\n\n#### Arch Linux\n\n`bore` is available in the AUR as `bore`.\n\n```shell\nyay -S bore # or your favorite AUR helper\n```\n\n#### Gentoo Linux\n\n`bore` is available in the [gentoo-zh](https://github.com/microcai/gentoo-zh) overlay.\n\n```shell\nsudo eselect repository enable gentoo-zh\nsudo emerge --sync gentoo-zh\nsudo emerge net-proxy/bore\n```\n\n### Binary Distribution\n\nOtherwise, the easiest way to install bore is from prebuilt binaries. These are available on the [releases page](https://github.com/ekzhang/bore/releases) for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Just unzip the appropriate file for your platform and move the `bore` executable into a folder on your PATH.\n\n### Cargo\n\nYou also can build `bore` from source using [Cargo",
