Tunnelite is a .NET tool that allows you to create a secure tunnel from a public URL to your local application running on your machine.

Installation

To install Tunnelite as a global tool, use the following command:

dotnet tool install --global Tunnelite

Usage

Once installed, you can use the tunnelite command to create a tunnel to your local application. For example, to tunnel a local application running at http://localhost:3000, run:

tunnelite http://localhost:3000

This command returns a public URL with an auto-generated subdomain, such as https://abc123.tunnelite.com.

How It Works

Tunnelite works by establishing a websocket connection to the public server and streaming all incoming data to your local application, effectively forwarding requests from the public URL to your local server.

Features

• Easy to Use: Simple command-line interface.
• Secure: Uses WebSockets for secure data transmission.
• Auto-Generated URLs: Automatically generates a unique subdomain for each tunnel.
