About:
pktriot is a tunneling solution that enables you to host server applications and static websites directly from your local machine to the public internet. It acts as a reverse proxy, securely forwarding traffic from the Packetriot cloud servers to your local services without requiring complex firewall rules or port forwarding. This tool simplifies the process of sharing local development environments or deploying small-scale applications.
Key Features:
  • Secure HTTPS tunneling with automatic TLS certificate provisioning
  • Support for hosting static websites and multiple TCP/UDP services
  • Custom domain support with seamless DNS management
  • Lightweight client with low resource footprint
Use Cases:
  • Exposing local web applications for client demos or testing
  • Hosting personal websites or projects from a home server without public IP
Alternatives:
  • ngrok – Similar functionality but pktriot offers more generous bandwidth on free tier and custom domains
  • Cloudflare Tunnel – More enterprise-focused; pktriot is simpler for individual developers
