(I know wireguard, tailscale and so on are the preferred options. But for some reaon I can't use any vpn atm)

I'm looking for some tunneling solution which:

-is NOT Cloudflare Tunnels

-doesn't need a VPN (so wireguard or openvpn are ruled out)

-is not SSH tunnel

I need something like FRP preferably with a luci app and automatic ssl certificate for my subdomain.

Any recommendations?

Maybe a port forward can do it? That's under Network -> Firewall. in the "Port forward" tab.

I'd need more info on the intended use-case and what's the requirement for a tunneling software that's making ssh tunnels and vpn tunnels unsuitable.

It's an http service running on my home server (running openwrt and docker).

SSH and VPN are either blocked or heavily throttled where i live.

If you want FRP, why not just install FRP? It even has a LuCI app to control it from what it looks like.

OpenWRT page showing the availability of FRP as an app

NGINX is also available at a mere 1kb in size for the slim version, full version also available as well as HAproxy. Those will have you more than covered, and support SSL.

Looks like there's also acme.sh support, with a matching LuCI app that can handle your SSL certificate situation as well.

FRP is fine but the https certificate part is not easy/automated.

Frp or nginx are both available on openWRT to do what you want.

You could, technically, use mTLS with Caddy.

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters More Letters
HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol, the Web
SSH Secure Shell for remote terminal access
SSL Secure Sockets Layer, for transparent encryption
VPN Virtual Private Network
nginx Popular HTTP server

4 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 3 acronyms.
