I built a similar service as well called Packetriot: https://packetriot.com

Building these types of tunneling systems are great projects. You learn a lot and can master skills in many different areas.

Packetriot has been operating for five years and the first few years was all spent on performance and stability of the core networking services. As the software and network matured, I spent more time on the operations and maintenance, and automating as much of that as possible.

Recently I've begun building tools to detect phishing and potential malicious behaviors. This is a common problem that operators of these tunnel networks have to deal with. It's an interesting and fun technical area and helps make the Internet a safer place :)
