What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the need to install dedicated tunneling software or configure complex network rules to share local services, development servers, or webhook endpoints with external parties for temporary testing and collaboration.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Zero-install tunneling: Uses the host's stock SSH client to connect to Pinggy's servers, no additional binaries or daemons required.
- Multiple tunnel types: Supports HTTP/HTTPS, TCP, and TLS tunnels for dev servers, databases, MCP endpoints, and LLM inference services.
- Access control options: Includes built-in support for HTTP Basic auth, bearer token gates, IP whitelisting, CORS, and HTTPS redirects to secure shared endpoints.
- Use case example: A developer can quickly expose their local Ollama LLM endpoint to a remote teammate for testing without deploying it to a public cloud server.
Quick Start
Use the pinggy-tunnel skill to generate a public HTTPS URL for your local service running on port 8000 so you can share it with external webhook providers or teammates for one-off testing.
