What is Tunnee? A cleaner way to make localhost reachable.

Tunnee gives your local server a public HTTPS URL so webhooks, teammates, devices, and browser flows can talk to code that is still running on your machine.

What Tunnee does

Tunnee is a secure localhost tunneling tool. You run it against a local port, and it gives you a public HTTPS URL that forwards traffic back to your machine.

In practice, that means you can take something running on localhost and make it reachable from the internet without setting up a VPS, touching DNS, or building your own reverse proxy stack first.

It exists for the awkward gap between local development and real integrations: third-party services want a public callback URL, but your app is still on your laptop.

Who Tunnee is for

Tunnee is for developers who need real inbound traffic before they are ready to deploy.

Webhook testing

Give Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, and other providers a public HTTPS callback URL that reaches your local app.

OAuth callback testing

Test sign-in and install flows locally without deploying a staging app just to receive redirects.

Mobile app development

Point a physical device or simulator at a local API without changing your network or exposing ports directly.

Temporary sharing

Share a local demo, QA build, or work-in-progress site with teammates and clients using a clean public URL.

Why not expose ports directly?

Opening a port on your router or machine is usually the wrong default for local development. It adds security risk, requires network changes, and still does not solve HTTPS, access control, or clean shareable URLs.

  • Tunnee uses an outbound connection from your machine instead of asking you to open inbound ports.
  • Every tunnel gets a public HTTPS URL, which matters for webhook providers and browser-based flows.
  • You can add password protection and TTLs when a link should not stay open forever.
  • The workflow stays in the CLI, so local sharing is fast and repeatable.

How it works

Tunnee creates an encrypted outbound connection from your machine to Tunnee's edge. Requests sent to your public URL travel through that connection and are forwarded to your local service.

Because the connection starts from your machine, you avoid the usual friction around inbound firewall rules and home or office router configuration.
