What is a Local Tunnel?

A local tunnel, also called a localhost tunnel, exposes your localhost to the internet without port forwarding or VPN setup. One command gives you a public URL that forwards traffic to your local port. Perfect for testing webhooks, sharing demos, or connecting IoT devices.

LocalXpose: Local Tunnel That Just Works

Whether you need to expose your localhost for webhook testing or connect localhost to the internet for remote access, LocalXpose provides a reliable localhost tunnel solution that works beyond quick tests.

Here’s what makes it different:

Persistent URLs

Reserve custom subdomains or use your own domain. Your webhook URLs stay stable across restarts, deployments, and team members.

loclx tunnel http \
  --to localhost:3000 \
  --subdomain mytunnel

=> https://mytunnel.loclx.io (online)

Reserve your own subdomain and get the same URL every time.

Full Protocol Support (Including UDP)

HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, TLS, and UDP. Test gaming servers, VoIP applications, IoT devices, and database connections over one platform.

  • Exposing a PostgreSQL database for testing? Done.
  • Hosting a Minecraft server? Just works.
  • Running UDP IoT firmware? May the ports be with you.

LocalXpose handles protocols that most alternatives don't support.

Traffic Inspection Built In

See every request in real-time through the web dashboard or CLI. Inspect headers, payloads, response times.

Replay webhooks without asking third-party services to resend. Debug faster instead of adding print statements everywhere.

Always-On Tunnels for Production Use

Run LocalXpose as a background service. Your tunnels stay active even when your terminal closes. Perfect for IoT device management, remote server access, or client demos that need 24/7 uptime.

Over 500 businesses run LocalXpose tunnels in production because it's designed for reliability, not just convenience.

Unlimited Bandwidth (Actually Unlimited)

The Pro plan includes unlimited data transfer. No usage limits, no billing surprises, no math.

Test high-traffic webhooks, share large files, run production workloads without watching your bandwidth cap. We just let you use what you need.

Built-In File Server

Share directories directly over the internet without running a separate web server.

loclx tunnel http \
  --to /path/to/folder \
  --file-server

Great for sending build artifacts to clients or sharing design files and media assets with remote teams.

Common Use Cases

Webhook Testing

Expose your local API to receive webhooks from Stripe, GitHub, Twilio, or Slack. Inspect payloads in real-time and replay requests when debugging.

Mobile App Development

Test your mobile app against a backend running on localhost. No need to deploy to staging servers just to try a new API endpoint.

Client Demos

Share work in progress without deploying to production. Send a stable URL instead of hoping a temporary tunnel survives the meeting.

IoT Device Management

Manage devices on private networks from anywhere. LocalXpose handles TCP and UDP protocols that IoT devices actually use.

Remote Database Access

Connect to PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB running locally from remote machines. Useful for pair programming or debugging production issues with local data.
