Audience
Development and security teams that need to expose local services for webhook receipt, integration testing, mobile testing, demos, and collaboration, with identity-based access controls and audit logging.
About Broch
Broch is a developer tunneling platform for exposing local services through a server deployed on an organization's own infrastructure. Developers use its CLI to create public HTTPS tunnels for receiving webhooks, testing integrations, sharing work in progress, mobile testing, and demonstrations. The server authenticates users through an organization's OIDC identity provider and applies administrator-defined policies to control who can create tunnels, which registered targets they can reach, and which inbound requests are allowed by network or header rules. Broch attributes tunnel activity and HTTP requests to the initiating developer and emits structured audit events for delivery to customer-managed logging systems. Teams deploy the Docker-based server in cloud or on-premises environments and manage seats and access through an administration interface. The CLI supports Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Webhook.site
Webhook.site is a tool for testing, transforming, and automating web requests, webhooks, and emails through unique URLs and email addresses that show everything sent to them instantly. With Webhook.site, users receive a unique, random URL that can be used to test and debug webhooks and HTTP requests, inspect payloads, headers, query strings, and request details in real time, and replay items later when troubleshooting or reprocessing failed flows. It helps remove the frustration of building software and automations that communicate through webhook or email by making requests visible, persistent, and easier to understand. Webhook.site also supports Custom Actions, a graphical workflow editor that runs when a URL receives a request or email, allowing users to connect incompatible APIs, convert an HTTP request to an email or vice versa, transform, validate, and process requests, and build workflows that would otherwise require development work.

Webhook Relay
Webhook Relay is a secure tunneling and webhook forwarding platform that lets teams receive webhooks from any source on localhost, on-premise systems, private networks, laptops, Kubernetes clusters, and internal services without exposing private IPs or opening inbound firewall ports. Its main services include Webhook Forwarding, which is secure and unidirectional by default with optional request and response transformation, and Bidirectional Tunneling, which provides fast tunnels for direct access to any HTTP service, internal API, website, backend app, frontend app, or AI model. Users can create public Webhook Relay endpoints, specify one or more internal destinations, run the relay agent through CLI or Docker, and securely tunnel incoming webhooks to private targets. It supports real-time payload and response inspection, request forwarding to multiple destinations, static outgoing IPs for allowlisting, custom subdomains, non-expiring tunnel domains, encrypted tunnels, etc.
