Common testing workflows

These guides are being built around the jobs developers usually need tunnels for:

  • Webhook testing - receive events from services like Stripe, GitHub, Telegram, and Discord while your handler runs locally
  • OAuth callback testing - give an OAuth provider a redirect URL that can reach your local app
  • Mobile app testing - open a local development server from a physical phone or tablet without fighting your Wi-Fi setup
