A localhost tunnel. It gives an app on your computer a public HTTPS URL, so you can test webhooks or share a preview without deploying.

How do I expose localhost to the internet with GoPort?

Install the CLI, run goport auth once, then goport http 8080 with your app's port. GoPort prints the public URL.

Can I test webhooks on localhost?

Yes. Set your GoPort URL as the webhook endpoint in Stripe, GitHub, Payme, or any provider. Deliveries reach your local handler, and you can replay them.

Do I need a public IP or port forwarding?

No. The CLI connects outbound, so there are no router ports, firewall rules, or public IPs to set up.

Can I keep the same public URL?

Yes, on Pro. Use --custom to claim a subdomain, or --reset for a new random one.

What happens when I hit the 5 GB Free limit?

New tunnels stop opening until the month resets. Nothing is deleted and you are never charged.

Can I self-host GoPort for free?

Yes. GoPort is MIT licensed. Run the server on your own domain with no limits, account, or payment.

How do payments work, and can I cancel?

Lemon Squeezy handles payments by card or PayPal. Cancel anytime from the dashboard and keep Pro until your paid period ends.

Open-source localhost tunnel

These services can send callbacks to standard public HTTPS endpoints. Their names are examples, not partnership claims.

Use cases

A public URL for work that still runs locally.

See how a localhost tunnel fits into webhook development, payment testing, OAuth, mobile apps, and client reviews.

Get started

Open your first localhost tunnel.

Install the CLI, authenticate once, and point GoPort at the port your application already uses.

Install the GoPort CLI

Choose the command for macOS, Windows, or Linux, then verify that GoPort is available in your terminal.

GoPort CLI

$brew install muhammad-deve/goport/goport

02
Create a CLI token
Log in to your GoPort account—or create one first—then generate a named CLI token in the dashboard.

03
Authenticate your machine
Pass the token to the CLI once. GoPort securely reuses the authenticated session for all future tunnels.
Run this in your terminal
goport auth <token>
04
Expose your local port
Run the command with your app's port. GoPort prints the public HTTPS URL when the tunnel is ready.
Run this in your terminal
goport http 8080

How it works

Follow every hop from the public URL to localhost.

A request reaches GoPort, travels through the CLI's outbound tunnel, and arrives at the local port where your application is listening.
