01

Made for work that needs a real URL.

Four jobs InstaTunnel does every day.

02

What you get.

Everything here is on the Free plan unless it is marked Pro.

  • Zero configuration

    Run it and the CLI finds your local port. No config file to write.

  • 24-hour sessions

    Free tunnels stay up for a full working day. Pro sessions do not expire.

  • Your own subdomain

    Sign in and pick a name, so callback URLs stay the same between restarts.

  • HTTPS by default

    Every tunnel is served with a valid certificate. No browser warnings.

  • Tunnels side by side

    Run 3 at once on Free and 10 on Pro: app, webhooks and API together.

  • Auto-reconnect

    If your connection drops, the CLI reconnects to the same URL.

  • Request logs and analyticsPro

    See every request, status code and visitor count for each tunnel.

  • Password and Basic AuthPro

    Lock a preview before you share it, without touching your app.

  • Custom domainsPro

    Serve a tunnel on your own domain, verified with a DNS record.
