Use cases for tunnels and remote access.
From a local web app to a fleet of devices on customer networks.
For developers
Web development
Share a local app without deploying
Show a client, test on your phone or get feedback from a teammate, on a public HTTPS URL.
Webhook testing
Stripe, GitHub and Slack on your machine
Point the provider at your tunnel and events reach your local server. Fanout delivers them to your whole team.
CI/CD preview builds
A live URL for every pull request
Tunnel the build from your CI job and post the URL on the pull request. The tunnel closes when the job ends.
Mobile app development
Test your API from a real device
Give your local API a public URL your phone can reach from any network.
Team webhooks
One webhook URL for the team
Every teammate receives the same webhooks at once with Fanout.
Database sharing
A local database a colleague can reach
A TCP tunnel gives Postgres, MySQL or Redis a public address and port. Restrict it with an IP allowlist.
For companies and device fleets
Private access to devices and services, with a record of every connection.
Remote Access is included in the Pro, Business and Enterprise plans.
Devices in the field
SSH into devices on customer networks
Run the agent on kiosks, gateways or chargers and allow SSH or any other port. Works behind NAT and CGNAT.
Industrial equipment
Machines that cannot run the agent
A gateway on site forwards to a PLC, a camera or a controller on its local network.
Contractor and vendor access
One person, one device
Grant a contractor a single device and remove the grant when the job ends. Open connections close.
Deploys from CI/CD
Pipelines with no stored secret
A CI job proves its identity with OIDC and reaches only the devices you grant it.
Internal services
A staging database or admin panel, kept private
Put one service in a fleet and only the people and machines you grant can reach it.
Access records
Who connected, to what and when
Every connection and every refusal is logged. Export the log as CSV for a security review.

Game server hosting
No port forwarding
Host Minecraft or Terraria from your own PC and share one address with friends.
Homelab remote access
Your self-hosted services from anywhere
Reach Home Assistant, Nextcloud or Pi-hole from outside your network. Works behind CGNAT.
Anything that speaks HTTP, TCP or TLS.
If it runs on your machine, Localport can give it an address.
