A fast, secure and stable reverse proxy for NAT traversal, written in Rust
-rathole, like [frp](https://github.com/fatedier/frp), can help to expose the service on the device behind the NAT to the Internet, via a server with a public IP.
+rathole, like [frp](https://github.com/fatedier/frp) and [ngrok](https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok), can help to expose the service on the device behind the NAT to the Internet, via a server with a public IP.
+
+## Features
- **High Performance** Much higher throughput can be achieved than frp. See [Benchmark](#Benchmark)
- **Low Resource Consumption** Much less memory is consumed and well managed by Rust.
-- **Secure Model** Tokens of services are mandatory and service-wise. The server and clients are responsible for their own configs.
-- **Encryption** With the help of the Noise Protocol, encryption can be configured at ease. No need to create a self-signed certificate!
- **Optimized Binary** While small enough by default, `rathole` can be customized to be **as small as ~500KiB** to fit the constraints of devices, like embedded devices as routers.

+- **Encryption** With the help of the Noise Protocol, encryption can be configured at ease. No need to create a self-signed certificate! TLS is also supported.
+- **Hot Reload** Services can be added or removed dynamically by hot-reloading the config file. HTTP API is WIP.
