About InstaTunnel

Built by developers, for developers. We're making localhost tunneling accessible, affordable, and reliable.

🚀 Launched 2024 • Serving developers worldwide

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 `it` (auto-detects port)
  • 50% 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

`it` should work on the first try, every time. Auto-detects your port, 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.
