The standard answer to this problem is ngrok, so it'd be useful to have a direct comparison. I couldn't find any encryption code in the Github repos you have exposed (I didn't look hard); obviously, since you've documented "SHA-256 encryption", you should probably write that up a lot better. I assume that at least the client side of this will be open source, in that people are going to be squeamish about running closed source desktop tunneling software.

Hi!

I've written an analysis of Lynk's performance vs. Ngrok here: https://medium.com/@shivanshvij/building-a-better-ngrok-dbc1... and our documentation stating "SHA-256 Encryption" has been since removed as a mistake.

The client side will absolutely be open sourced probably by the end of next week once I've cleaned up some spaghetti code.

It might be a good idea to make that post or something like it way more prominent.
