tunnelto is a Rust-based local tunneling tool that exposes a locally running web server through a public URL. It is designed for developers who need to test webhooks, demos, APIs, or in-progress applications without deploying them to a public server. The project includes both a hosted service model and self-hosting support, giving teams flexibility depending on their workflow and infrastructure needs. Its async architecture is built on Tokio, which helps it handle network connections efficiently. tunnelto is especially useful during development because it reduces the friction of sharing local work with clients, teammates, or third-party platforms. Its focus is simple: make a private local port reachable from the internet with minimal setup.
