How it works

  1. Create and configure a tunnel in the Portwarp dashboard.
  2. Run the local service on the port configured for that tunnel.
  3. Use pwrp connect to start forwarding traffic.
  4. Share the public address shown in your dashboard with the people who need it.

The CLI supports TCP, UDP, and tunnels that use both protocols. It only makes outbound connections, so you do not need to open a port on your router for Portwarp.

Next step

Choose your platform in Installation, then follow the Quickstart.
