Portr is a self-hosted open-source tunnel solution that exposes local HTTP, TCP, and WebSocket connections to the public internet using SSH remote port forwarding. It includes a CLI client, a local request inspector with replay capabilities, and an admin dashboard for team and connection management.

Use cases

• expose local dev server on a public url
• self-hosted ngrok alternative
• debug stripe webhooks locally
• inspect and replay http requests
• share localhost tunnel with team
• tunnel tcp and websocket connections
• test webhook integrations without deploying

When to choose

• you want a self-hosted ngrok alternative you fully control
• your small team needs to expose development servers on public URLs
• you need request inspection and replay for webhook debugging
• you want tunnel access management with teams and an admin dashboard

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade edge or high-traffic ingress
• you don't want to operate your own tunnel server infrastructure
• you just need a quick one-off tunnel without self-hosting setup
