Remote Access comparison
Looking for an ngrok alternative for home servers, webhooks, or local apps?
DNSExit Remote Access gives self-hosters and small teams a simple path from Dynamic DNS into Public Tunnel or Static-IP Relay when local services need a public endpoint.
For local web appsUse Public Tunnel when you need a public HTTPS URL for a private web app, dashboard, or webhook receiver.
For TCP servicesUse Static-IP Relay when SSH, VPN, RDP, cameras, or other TCP services need a stable relay endpoint.
For DNSExit accountsKeep DNS, Dynamic DNS, domains, email services, and Remote Access connected in one account.
When DNSExit is a good fit
- You already use Dynamic DNS and discovered that port forwarding or CGNAT is the real blocker.
- You want remote access tied to DNS, domain, email, and hosting services instead of a separate developer-only tunnel account.
- You need both web tunnels and stable TCP relay options for home-lab or small-office services.
- You want a free starting point with upgrade paths based on endpoints, bandwidth, and TCP ports.
How to choose
Choose Public Tunnel for browser-based services and webhook testing. Choose Static-IP Relay when the service is TCP-based or when you want a memorable endpoint such as remote1.dnsexit.com:22000. If inbound access already works and only the public IP changes, start with Free Dynamic DNS instead.
Start with the remote access path that matches your service.
DNSExit helps you move from changing-IP DNS into tunnels and relays when the network stops accepting inbound connections.
