Local port forwarding
What it does
Section titled “What it does”Local forwarding makes a service on (or reachable from) your server available on a local port
of your device. The classic example: a dev server running remotely on port 5173 appears at
localhost:5173 on your machine, and you open it in your regular browser.
Setting up a rule
Section titled “Setting up a rule”- Open a tunnel session for the server — tunnels don’t need a terminal.
- Add a local forwarding rule: local port → remote host → remote port.
- Start the rule. Each rule shows its own status independently.
- The tunnel session keeps rules alive as long as it is open; closing the session stops its rules.
- Anything that can reach the local port on your device can use the tunnel — bind carefully if you’re on a shared network.
