Port forwarding

Screenshot placeholder — Port Forwarding page with active tunnels list.

Three tunnel types, mapped to the OpenSSH equivalents.

Tunnel types

Open something from the SSH server on your machine.

localhost:3000 on your computer → 127.0.0.1:3000 on the server.

Use case: reach a service that only listens on the server's loopback.

Expose something from your machine on the SSH server.

The server listens on a port and forwards traffic back to you.

Use case: share a local dev server with a teammate via a bastion.

SOCKS5 proxy on your machine.

Point a browser or app at localhost:1080 to route all its traffic through the SSH server.

Use case: browse as if from inside the server's network.

Creating a rule

Port Forwarding tab → +. Pick a tunnel type, the host, the ports.

Running

Each rule has Start / Stop in its card. Active tunnels appear in the Active tunnels section at the top of the page with a live status indicator.

Auto-start

Tag a rule Auto-start to bring it up whenever the host connects.
