Local Server Explorer
Scan local ports to find running dev servers, databases, and services on your machine.
Local Server Explorer
Detect running dev servers and services on localhost
http://localhostNo active servers detected
All scanning is done locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to any external server.
Detection uses HTTP fetch + WebSocket probing. HTTP servers are detected reliably. TCP-only services (databases, Redis) are detected via WebSocket timing heuristics.
Public URL for Localhost (Port Forward)
Expose your local development server to the internet. Create a public URL for localhost. Free tunneling tool — share your local server instantly.
How It Works
Enter the local port your development server is running on. The tool creates a secure tunnel that generates a public URL pointing to your localhost, allowing anyone on the internet to access your local server temporarily.
Common Use Cases
- Sharing a locally running website or app with a client or teammate for review
- Testing webhook integrations that require a public URL endpoint
- Demoing a project that's still in development without deploying
- Testing mobile responsiveness by accessing your local server from a phone
Frequently Asked Questions
The tunnel uses HTTPS encryption. However, be mindful of what you expose — only share ports running development servers, not production systems.
The public URL remains active as long as you keep the tunnel running. Once closed, the URL becomes inaccessible.
Our browser-based tool handles the tunneling without any local installation, though performance and features may vary.
It scans common development ports: 3000 (React/Next.js), 3001, 4200 (Angular), 5000/5001 (Flask/ASP.NET), 5173 (Vite), 8000 (Django), 8080 (Spring), and more.
Yes, enter any port number and the tool creates a tunnel to make that local service accessible via a public URL.
No, the public URL is temporary and active only while the tunnel is running. Once you close it, the URL stops working.
Free tunneling services typically have bandwidth limitations. For development and testing purposes, the limits are usually sufficient.
