Proxly
A self-hosted tunneling tool — like ngrok, but on your own domain. Expose local dev servers through subdomains on your VPS.
Proxly is a lightweight, self-hosted tunneling tool that lets you expose local services to the internet through subdomains on your own VPS. It provides a simple alternative to tools like ngrok while giving you full control over your infrastructure and traffic.
With a single CLI command, Proxly creates a secure tunnel from your local machine to a public endpoint on your domain. It’s designed for quick setup, minimal configuration, and a smooth developer experience.
Features
- Self-hosted tunneling – expose local apps through subdomains on your own server
- Simple CLI – manage tunnels with a clean command-line interface
- Interactive setup – guided configuration during the first run
- Multiple project support – manage and switch between different tunnels easily
- Custom domains – route traffic through your own domain
