Share Your Local Dev Servers
Worldwide in Seconds
DevTunnel-CLI is a zero-configuration CLI tool that creates public URLs for your local development servers. Supports multiple ports.
Works with any framework, any backend, and any port. No setup required.

DevTunnel-CLI is a command-line tool that creates secure public URLs for your local development servers, making it easy to share your work with teammates, clients, or test on mobile devices.
The Problem
Your dev server runs on localhost:3000, which only you can access. Sharing with teammates or testing on mobile devices requires complex setup or deployment.
The Solution
DevTunnel-CLI creates a public URL (like https://your-app.serviceprovider.com) that tunnels to your local server. No deployment, no configuration, just run one command.
Perfect For
Why Choose DevTunnel-CLI?
Everything you need to share local servers, with zero configuration required.
Fully Automatic
Auto-detects your project and running dev server port. No manual configuration needed.
Zero Configuration
Works with any project immediately. No config files to edit, no settings to change.
Smart Detection
Intelligently finds your project and detects which port your dev server is running on.
Multiple Ports
DevTunnel-CLI supports multiple ports. Auto-detects or choose your port (3000, 8000, 5500, 80, etc.).
Multi-Service Fallback
Automatically tries Cloudflare → Ngrok → LocalTunnel for maximum reliability.
Cross-Platform
Works perfectly on Windows, macOS, and Linux with native OS integration.
Lightning Fast
Get your public URL in seconds. No waiting, no delays, instant sharing.
Any Framework
Vite, React, Vue, Next.js, Express, NestJS, Laravel, plain HTML, and PHP/XAMPP — works with ALL of them. HTML gets a built-in static server; XAMPP subfolders (e.g. localhost/MyProject) supported.
Smart Proxy
Built-in proxy bypasses framework restrictions. No need to modify your project config.
How It Works
Simple 5-step process to get your local server online
Install DevTunnel-CLI
One-time installation via npm. Takes less than 10 seconds.
npm install -g devtunnel-cliGo to Your Project
Navigate to your project folder — Node/React (e.g. my-app), Laravel, plain HTML, or XAMPP (e.g. htdocs/MyProject).
cd your-projectHave Your App Running
Node/Laravel: run your dev server (npm run dev, php artisan serve). HTML: optional — DevTunnel-CLI can start a built-in server. XAMPP: have Apache running.
npm run dev
# OR php artisan serve
# OR XAMPP / Live Server
# HTML: DevTunnel-CLI can serve for youRun DevTunnel-CLI
Open a NEW terminal, go to the SAME project directory, and run devtunnel-cli. It auto-detects project type and port (Node, Laravel, HTML, PHP/XAMPP).

Q:What is DevTunnel-CLI for?
DevTunnel-CLI is built for development, testing, demos, and webhook debugging. Share work-in-progress with teammates, test on mobile devices, demo features to clients, or debug webhooks — all with one command.
Q:How do URLs work?
Each run generates a fresh public URL. Share it with anyone; they can access your local server instantly. When you stop the tunnel (Ctrl+C), the URL stops working. Run again to get a new URL.
Q:Do I need to modify my project files?
No! DevTunnel-CLI works with zero configuration. Your project files stay untouched. A smart proxy forwards requests to your dev server automatically.
Q:What if my dev server is already running?
DevTunnel-CLI detects it automatically. Run devtunnel-cli from the same directory — it finds your server and port and gives you a public URL right away.
Q:Can I use it with multiple projects or ports?
Yes! Run from different project directories; each gets its own URL. You can run multiple tunnels at once.
Q:Does it work with WebSockets?
Yes! Full WebSocket support for Vite HMR (Hot Module Reload), Socket.io, and other real-time features.
Q:What if Cloudflare is unavailable?
DevTunnel-CLI falls back to Ngrok (if installed) or LocalTunnel (built-in). You always get a working tunnel.
Q:How do I stop the tunnel?
Press Ctrl+C in the terminal where DevTunnel-CLI is running. The tunnel and proxy stop gracefully.
