What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of making local development servers, webhooks, or internal tools temporarily accessible to the public internet without complex network configuration or permanent daemon installations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Zero-Install Tunneling: Uses standard SSH to create secure reverse tunnels to localhost.
  • Flexible Access Control: Supports basic authentication, bearer tokens, and IP whitelisting for secure sharing.
  • Use Case: Quickly share a local web application with a remote teammate for testing, or expose a local webhook endpoint to receive callbacks from services like Stripe or GitHub.

Quick Start

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

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

To expose local network services to the public internet, this skill establishes secure SSH reverse tunnels, creating a public URL that forwards remote traffic directly to your local service listening on a specified port.

What is the best way to test webhooks on my local development server?

Testing webhooks on a local development server is best done by creating a secure SSH reverse tunnel, allowing external services like Stripe or GitHub to send callbacks directly to your localhost environment.

Do I need to install any extra software to tunnel my localhost?

No extra software installation is required to tunnel your localhost, as the process uses a standard SSH client to establish secure reverse tunnels without complex network configuration or permanent daemon installations.

Can I use basic authentication and IP whitelisting with an SSH reverse tunnel?

Yes, you can use basic authentication, bearer tokens, and IP whitelisting with an SSH reverse tunnel to enforce flexible access control when securely sharing local web applications or API endpoints.

What are the requirements to expose a local service to the internet?

To expose a local service to the internet, you need an active SSH client and a local service already listening on a specified port, which the secure reverse tunnel will connect to the public internet.
