Getting Started

tunnl.pro is a reverse tunneling service that lets you expose local servers to the public internet. It works with standard SSH clients, so there's nothing to install.

_ The Command

$ ssh -R 80:localhost:8080 tunnl.pro

-R 80:localhost:8080
Remote port forwarding. This tells the SSH server to forward traffic from its port 80 to your localhost:8080.
tunnl.pro
The hostname of our SSH server that handles the tunnel connections.

📚 Common Examples

Expose a React/Vite App

ssh -R 80:localhost:5173 tunnl.pro

Expose a Python Flask App

ssh -R 80:localhost:5000 tunnl.pro

Custom Subdomain

                        ssh -R mysite:80:localhost:3000
                        tunnl.pro
                    

🌐 Troubleshooting

Connection refused? ›

Make sure your local server is actually running on the port you specified (e.g., 8080). You can check this by visiting localhost:8080 in your browser.

How long does the tunnel last? ›

The tunnel stays open as long as your SSH connection is active. If you close the terminal or lose internet connection, the tunnel will close. Use tools like autossh to keep it persistent.
