Drip is a self-hosted tunneling utility developed by Gouryella that creates secure, encrypted pathways between a locally running service and the public Internet, eliminating dependence on external relay servers and imposing no bandwidth caps. Designed for developers who need to share in-progress web applications, test webhook callbacks, or demonstrate APIs from a machine behind NAT or firewall, the software launches from a single executable that listens on a configurable local port and binds to a user-controlled domain or subdomain. Because every component runs on infrastructure the user operates—whether a cloud VPS, on-premise server, or container cluster—traffic never traverses third-party brokers, keeping latency low and data retention policies entirely under local governance. Typical use cases include exposing a localhost React dev server to a remote mobile device for live debugging, allowing external CI services to POST deployment status to a Jenkins instance on a laptop, or granting a client temporary HTTPS access to a staging WordPress site before DNS cut-over. The application is catalogued within the “Network & Internet – Proxy & Tunnel” segment and is presently offered at version 0.6.3, the tenth consecutive release in a lineage that has evolved from early command-line alphas to the current stable branch supporting concurrent tunnels, automatic TLS via Let’s Encrypt, and YAML-based configuration. Drip is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
