Btunnel
Expose Localhost to the Internet Instantly with Secure Reverse Proxy

What is Btunnel?

Btunnel provides a hassle-free solution for exposing local servers and files to the internet through a secure and high-performance reverse proxy. Designed for developers and professionals, it generates a unique, HTTPS-protected public URL with each connection, allowing instant global access to your local content or applications. Users benefit from features such as geo-location-based routing for minimal latency, automatic reconnection, request monitoring via a web UI, and the ability to serve static files directly from any local directory.

Advanced options like TCP tunnel exposure and custom subdomain registration optimize workflow for Pro users. With additional security features including basic authentication and customizable HTTP headers, Btunnel is well-suited for sharing development builds, private game servers, or sensitive testing environments with remote stakeholders. The platform supports quick setup without requiring upfront payments for basic access.
