SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of making local development servers, webhooks, or internal tools accessible to the public internet without complex network configuration or installing heavy software.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Zero-Install Tunneling: Uses your existing SSH client to create secure reverse tunnels to your local machine.
  • Flexible Access Control: Supports basic authentication, bearer tokens, and IP whitelisting to keep your exposed services secure.
  • Use Case: Quickly share a local web server with a remote colleague, receive webhook callbacks from services like Stripe or GitHub, or expose an MCP server for remote access.

Quick Start

Use the pinggy-tunnel skill to expose the local service running on port 8000 to the public internet.

Frequently Asked Questions about pinggy-tunnel

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

You can expose a localhost development server to the public internet by establishing an SSH-based reverse tunnel. This method requires an active SSH client and a local service listening on a specified port to provide remote access without complex network configuration.

What is the best way to receive webhook callbacks for local testing?▼

The best way to receive webhook callbacks for local testing is to use SSH-based reverse tunneling. This technique securely exposes your local APIs or webhook endpoints to external services like Stripe or GitHub without installing heavy software.

Do I need to install additional software to use SSH tunneling for local services?▼

No, you do not need to install additional software to use SSH tunneling for local services. The process uses your existing SSH client to create secure reverse tunnels, requiring only a local service listening on a specified port to function correctly.

Can I add authentication to a public tunnel exposing my local API?▼

Yes, you can add authentication to a public tunnel exposing your local API. The tunneling process supports flexible access control including basic authentication, bearer tokens, and IP whitelisting to keep your exposed services secure.

How does SSH reverse tunneling work for remote access to internal tools?▼

SSH reverse tunneling works for remote access to internal tools by establishing a secure connection from your local machine to a public server. This connection forwards external traffic back to your local network services, bypassing complex network configurations.
