SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Exposes a local service to the public internet without requiring daemon installation or complex hosting setups, making it easy to share demos, webhooks, or testing endpoints from a private machine.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • No daemon installation; use your existing SSH client to connect to a.pinggy.io and obtain a public URL.
  • Supports HTTP/HTTPS tunnels, TLS forcing, and optional access controls with token, basic-auth, or IP gating.
  • Suitable for exposing dev servers, webhook receivers, demo endpoints, and MCP/vLLM endpoints for remote testing.

Quick Start

Start a local service on 127.0.0.1, create a Pinggy tunnel, and share the resulting public URL.

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 local service to the public internet for webhooks?▼

You can expose a local service to the public internet by establishing an SSH reverse tunnel to a.pinggy.io, which generates a public URL without requiring daemon installation. This allows remote collaborators to access your local webhooks or dev servers securely.

Can I use SSH to create a reverse tunnel for a local development server?▼

Yes, you can use your existing SSH client to create a reverse tunnel to a.pinggy.io. This method provides a public URL for your local development server, avoiding complex hosting setups or additional daemon installations.

Does Pinggy support basic authentication and TLS for exposed endpoints?▼

Yes, Pinggy supports TLS forcing and optional access controls including token gates, basic authentication, and IP gating to secure your exposed local service endpoints during remote testing or demonstrations.

Do I need to install a daemon to expose my local service with a reverse tunnel?▼

No, you do not need to install any additional daemon. The tunnel leverages your existing SSH client to connect to a.pinggy.io, instantly providing a public URL for your private machine's local service.

What is the best way to share a local demo endpoint with remote collaborators?▼

The best way is using an SSH reverse tunnel to a.pinggy.io to expose your local demo endpoint. It provides a public HTTPS URL directly from your private machine, allowing remote collaborators to test your service without complex deployments.

When should I not use an SSH reverse tunnel for exposing local services?▼

You should avoid using an SSH reverse tunnel for permanent hosting or high-scale production traffic. This approach is designed for temporary exposure of development servers, webhooks, and testing endpoints rather than long-term public deployment.
