Convert UDP to TCP - Ngrok TCP => UDP

Question

I'm in a hurry at the moment.

My Question is, is there a way to forward UDP to TCP port? I need this for hosting a game server for my friends, I want to host Counter-Strike server for example, but it uses UDP (User Datagram Protocol) for server port, but NGROK only supports TCP (Transmission Control Protocl) & HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol).

I tried this while ago..

ngrok tcp 127.0.0.1:27015

and as usually it will start :

ngrok by @inconshreveable                                       (Ctrl+C to quit)

Session Status                online
Account                       Soricy Infinitive (Plan: Free)
Version                       2.2.8
Region                        United States (us)
Web Interface                 http://127.0.0.1:4040
Forwarding                    tcp://0.tcp.ngrok.io:18833 -> 127.0.0.1:27015

Connections                   ttl     opn     rt1     rt5     p50     p90
                              0       0       0.00    0.00    0.00    0.00

But fails to connect to 0.tcp.ngrok.io:18833 in the game, and displays that there is no UDP configured on the server side.

Is there any way I could do this differently? UDP=>TCP?

Solution 1

Checkout DatagramTunnneler (on github). It is an open-source c++ program which simply listens to UDP traffic and forwards it to a TCP endpoint of your choice. On that TCP endpoint another instance of the DatagramTunneler publishes the UDP data back onto a UDP channel.
Disclaimer: I wrote that tool.

Solution 2

You can use https://localtonet.com instead of ngrok. Supports udp and tcp

The short answer is "No." You'd have to write some kind of proxy handler for yourself to forward it.

Never mind, got myself a VPS and now I can host the server using Wine :) If NGROK ever implements UDP support, I will try that too!
