Show Your Local Projects to the World in 30 SecondsThe essence: You’re working on something cool on your computer. You want to show it to someone across the world — without paying for servers, without complicated setup. Tunnelto was supposed to do that. It’s dead now. Here’s what actually works.
Wait, What Even Is This?
You know how your projects live on your computer and nobody else can see them?Tunneling tools let strangers access your computer’s projects through a simple link.
Like magic. No servers. No money. Just a link that works anywhere.
Why would you want this?
- Show a client your work without deploying anything
- Test payment systems that need a real URL
- Let your phone talk to code running on your laptop
- Flex on people
So What’s Wrong With Tunnelto?
It’s abandoned. Last update was 4 years ago. The website still works… sometimes. Users complain about random errors. Support doesn’t respond. Ever.Cool Rust code though. Great for learning. Terrible for actually using.
The dream tool that does everything automatically? Doesn’t exist yet. Everyone’s still duct-taping solutions together. Welcome to 2026.
Don’t run production through free tunnels. Don’t forget to delete DNS records. Don’t trust random links that expose your localhost. Common sense sh**.
