Last Updated:

Temporarily expose local HTTP, TCP, or UDP services to the internet. No account or configuration is required to start a session.

NodeLane Tunnel is a command line utility that exposes local development environments to the public internet for software testing and demonstration. Software engineers and system administrators use this tool to share local services without configuring complex firewalls or home routers.

What it does

  • HTTP tunneling. Maps local web servers and APIs to random public addresses for remote viewing and team testing.
  • TCP connectivity. Forwards traffic for SSH and database services to external users for remote debugging sessions.
  • UDP support. Provides public routes for network protocol testing and various hardware device integration tasks.
  • Terminal integration. Operates directly from the command line interface without requiring any setup or configuration files.
  • Automatic cleanup. Closes the public connection immediately when the user ends the current terminal session.
  • Bandwidth management. Supports data transfer speeds reaching up to five megabytes per second for every active user.

Who it is for

  • Web developers testing external API webhooks and integrations.
  • Software teams sharing local work for quick peer review.
  • Sales engineers demonstrating prototypes to remote stakeholders and clients.
  • Hardware technicians testing local network hardware components and sensors.

Pricing

The service currently offers a free tier that requires no user registration or account setup. Anonymous sessions allow one concurrent route and support connection durations of up to sixty minutes.
