FAQPage Schema
How do I expose a local server to the public internet?▼

Expose a local server to the public internet by establishing an SSH reverse tunnel. This forwards your local port to a public URL using the stock SSH client, allowing external access without installing additional tools.

Can I receive webhook callbacks on my local development environment?▼

Receive webhook callbacks locally by forwarding your local port to a public URL. This creates a temporary public endpoint that external services can target for webhook delivery during local tasks.

Do I need to install tunneling software to forward a local port?▼

No, you do not need to install tunneling software to forward a local port. This approach uses the stock SSH client to establish a reverse tunnel, requiring no additional software installation on your machine.

Does port forwarding via SSH support HTTP and HTTPS traffic?▼

Port forwarding via SSH supports both HTTP and HTTPS traffic. The tunnel handles web traffic and includes basic authentication to secure the exposed local service.

What is the best way to share a local development server for a one-off demonstration?▼

The best way to share a local development server for a demonstration is using a temporary SSH reverse tunnel. It quickly provides a public URL for one-off access without complex configurations.

Why do I need an account to establish an SSH reverse tunnel?▼

You need an account to establish an SSH reverse tunnel for authentication and routing purposes. The Pinggy account manages the public URL allocation and secures the connection between the internet and your local service.
