FAQPage Schema
How do I expose a local service to the public internet for webhook testing?

You can expose a local service to the public internet by creating a Pinggy SSH reverse tunnel, which generates a public URL pointing to your local port without requiring any extra daemons or complex infrastructure.

Can I secure a public URL for my local dev server with access controls?

Yes, you can secure a public URL for your local dev server by applying optional basic or token-based access controls, along with TLS guarantees, directly through the SSH tunnel command parameters.

Do I need to install extra software to create an SSH reverse tunnel for a demo endpoint?

No extra daemon or software installation is required to create an SSH reverse tunnel; you only need an SSH client available on your PATH and a local service listening on 127.0.0.1.

What is the best way to share a local HTTP server without deploying a public host?

The best way to share a local HTTP server without deploying a public host is using a single SSH command to establish a Pinggy tunnel, providing immediate public access for demonstrations or remote access.

Why does my local service need to listen on 127.0.0.1 before starting a tunnel?

Your local service must listen on 127.0.0.1 because the Pinggy SSH reverse tunnel specifically forwards traffic from the generated public URL to your localhost interface on the specified port.
