Tunnelmole is an open-source tunneling tool that gives locally running HTTP(S) servers a public URL, similar to ngrok. It is distributed as an npm package or pre-built binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Use cases

• expose localhost to the internet
• test webhooks locally without stubbing
• test a website on a real phone
• share a local dev server with a client
• test HTTPS-only features like PWA notifications locally
• cross-device testing of a local API

When to choose

• you want an open-source ngrok alternative
• you need a quick public HTTPS URL for a local server
• you develop Node.js and want an npm-installable tunnel

When to avoid

• you need enterprise features like access control or paid SLAs
• you need tunnels for non-HTTP protocols like TCP or SSH
• you cannot rely on the hosted Tunnelmole service and don't want to self-host
