About InstaTunnel
Built by developers, for developers. We're making localhost tunneling accessible, affordable, and reliable.
Our Story
InstaTunnel was born from a simple frustration: existing tunneling solutions were either too expensive, too limited, or too complex for everyday development work.
The Problem We Solve
As developers, we constantly need to share localhost applications with clients, test webhooks, demo features to stakeholders, or collaborate with remote team members. The existing solutions made this harder than it needed to be.
- ❌ngrok free tier: 2-hour limits, no custom subdomains
- ❌High pricing for basic features that should be standard
- ❌Complex setup and configuration processes
- ❌Limited analytics and debugging tools
Our Solution
- ✅24-hour sessions on free tier (12x longer than ngrok)
- ✅Custom subdomains without paying
- ✅3 simultaneous tunnels vs competitors' 1
- ✅Zero-config setup - just run `instatunnel 3000`
- ✅40% cheaper pricing for Pro features
Our Mission & Values
We're committed to making developer tools that just work, without breaking the bank.
Developer-First
Every feature is designed with developer experience in mind. If it's not intuitive for a developer, we don't ship it.
Fair Pricing
Essential features shouldn't cost extra. Our free tier is genuinely useful, and our paid plans offer real value.
Privacy-Focused
We never inspect your data. Your tunnels are encrypted end-to-end, and we collect minimal metadata.
Zero Friction
`instatunnel 3000` should work on the first try, every time. No configuration files, no complex setup.
Global Scale
Fast, reliable infrastructure worldwide. Your tunnels work consistently regardless of your location.
Continuous Innovation
We ship new features based on real developer feedback. Your input directly shapes our roadmap.
