✓ Creating TCP tunnel...
Tunneling TCP: ap-2.loclx.io:46629 --> 127.0.0.1:46629
Choosing a region closer to you will give you lower latency, also you can choose any endpoint port if port 46629 is taken.
Your friends can use the endpoint provided by LocalXpose [ap-2.loclx.io:46629] to connect to your Local game server.
You need to have your Minecraft and LocalXpose running in background, else your friends won't be able to connect.
