rathole-org/rathole
Rank not captured·Top 100·All-time stars·Cached ranking snapshot·
A lightweight and high-performance reverse proxy for NAT traversal, written in Rust. An alternative to frp and ngrok.
First read
Useful directional context, not a final verdict yet
rathole-org/rathole is better read as a directional signal than a clean recommendation. Keep the snapshot conservative and validate source activity, package reality, and close alternatives before committing to it.
Visible
14K public stars in the current GitStar snapshot.
Needs a narrower context read
Active
Last commit Apr 16, 2026.
Stale activity
Adopted
Treat stars as discovery context until a linked package appears.
No linked package mapping
Confidence
One or more key signals are partial, so GitStar keeps the interpretation conservative.

Compare lens
ekzhang/bore and GyulyVGC/sniffnet are the closest comparison targets GitStar found. A side-by-side comparison usually tells you more than a single raw rank.

Package reality
No linked npm or PyPI package is mapped for this repository yet, so the page leans more heavily on GitHub-visible popularity and should be read more conservatively.
No linked package signal is expected for this project type, so the read leans more heavily on repository-level public signals.

Validation note
GitStar can summarize public signals for rathole-org/rathole, but the GitHub repository is still the primary place to confirm release cadence, issue activity, and maintainer intent.

🧭 Hype vs Reality
Insufficient Package DataGitStar can see repository momentum, but it does not have a reliable linked package signal yet.
Treat stars and recent movement as discovery context only until npm or PyPI usage is available.
Status
Insufficient Package Data
Package footprint
No linked npm or PyPI usage signal
Method note
This label appears when GitStar cannot find strong enough package telemetry to compare attention against adoption. Compare it against other Rust repos before treating stars as a moat.

About This Page
This page provides a quick overview of rathole-org/rathole based on GitStar's cached data. The signal chart reconstructs approximate checkpoints from current stars plus cached daily, weekly, and monthly star deltas, so it is best read as directional context rather than as a precise historical audit log.
