Interesting. Thanks for sharing!

I've looked through the service code, and I'm curious about the seeming dependency on tunnelmole.com/.net and how custom domains and subdomains are registered with DNS so that they are findable by third-party clients.

@frickingruvin Just add a CNAME entry in your DNS records with your subdomain pointing to the tunnelmole.com .

Let me know if that works. I guess HTTPs wouldn't validate cos of a name mismatch (it'll be the tunnelmole.net SSL cert).

It'd be interesting to know if it's possible with HTTP (just be careful not to transmit anything sensitive over insecure HTTP).
