FAQ

Is this a tunnel?: It's a relay. Your client connects outbound to our server via WebSocket, and we forward requests through that connection. Same effect as a tunnel, but no port forwarding involved.
Does this open ports on my machine?: No. Your client initiates the connection outward. All traffic flows through that existing socket—no inbound ports, no firewall changes needed.
How does it work?: 1) Your client opens a WebSocket to our server. 2) Requests hit your public URL. 3) We forward them through the socket. 4) Your client POSTs to localhost.
