HF Tunnel
Free · Windows, macOS, Linux
Share a website running on your computer at a public HTTPS link, for a client, a colleague or your phone. No account: start it and send the link.

- HF Local's free links for any address: the same link every time, a QR code and every request
- A window and an hf-tunnel command; phpMyAdmin and server pages stay private
