# Zorven

> Zorven is an open-core (AGPLv3) tunneling and zero-trust access platform built in Türkiye: it publishes a service running on your computer on a public HTTPS address with one command (`zorven 3000`), and is a self-hostable alternative to ngrok and Cloudflare Tunnel.

The `zorven` client (CLI or desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux) opens one outbound encrypted connection to the Zorven server, so nothing has to be opened on the router; it works behind NAT, CGNAT and firewalls. HTTP/HTTPS, WebSocket, SSE, raw TCP, UDP and SNI are supported, with a free zorven.app subdomain or your own domain and automatic certificates.

On top of tunnels Zorven adds: a per-tunnel security layer (visitor login via OAuth or password, IP allowlists, policy engine, WAF, Geo rules, rate limiting, bot protection with a browser challenge, Zorven CAPTCHA for forms, mTLS) and zero trust (device posture, enterprise SSO via OIDC/SAML, device certificates; Enterprise); a private network between devices (Zorven Network: WireGuard, direct P2P where possible, `<device>.zorven.internal` names); remote access (terminal and screen sharing in the browser, file transfer); AI integration (an MCP server to manage tunnels, devices and logs from Claude Code, Claude Desktop or Cursor, and a tunnel MCP mode to publish your own MCP server securely with OAuth); a live request inspector with replay, metrics and alerts; webmail; teams, organizations and projects; a REST API (OpenAPI 3.1) with Node and Python SDKs. Zorven Apps (managed service only) runs your Docker apps on your own machine through the client (`zorven deploy`) with automatic tunnel and HTTPS, blue/green updates and rollback.

- Current client release: 0.3.7 (2026-11-07). Platforms: Windows (x64), macOS (universal), Linux (x64). Desktop app and CLI ship together.
- Plans: Free, Hobby $5/month, Pro $12/month, Team $29/month, Enterprise (custom). Fixed monthly prices, no usage-based billing. The Free plan shows a one-time notice page on the first visit to a zorven.app HTTP tunnel (acknowledged for one day); paid plans and custom domains never show it. Full limits: https://zorven.app/en/pricing
- Protocols: HTTP/HTTPS, WebSocket, SSE, HTTP/2, raw TCP, UDP (advanced UDP limits for game servers from Pro), TLS/SNI passthrough.
- Custom domains: available from Hobby, with automatic Let's Encrypt certificates.
- Languages: panel, clients and site in Turkish, English, Japanese and Simplified Chinese. Turkish is the primary site language; every page has an English version under https://zorven.app/en/.
- Typical uses: webhook testing (iyzico, PayTR, Stripe, GitHub), client demos, home servers and self-hosting behind CGNAT, game servers (Minecraft, UDP), remote support, team private network and database access without a VPN, publishing an MCP server for AI agents, protecting a public site with WAF and bot protection.
