Authentifizierung

InstaTunnel supports two levels of authentication: creating an account for enhanced features, and securing your tunnels with password protection or basic auth.

👤 Account Authentication

Creating an Account

# Register with your email
$ instatunnel auth login --email your@email.com
✅ Registration successful!
🔑 API key saved to config
📧 Verification email sent
# Now you can use enhanced features
$ instatunnel 3000 --subdomain myapp
✅ Tunnel created: https://myapp.instatunnel.my
Benefits of an Account:
  • • Custom subdomains and longer sessions
  • • Tunnel management across sessions
  • • Basic analytics and request logs
  • • API access for automation

Anonymous Usage

# Use InstaTunnel without an account
$ instatunnel 3000
✅ Tunnel created: https://k8m9n2.instatunnel.my
💡 Anonymous session - expires in 24 hours
💡 Create account for longer sessions

InstaTunnel works immediately without any signup. Perfect for quick testing and development.

Logout

# Remove stored credentials
$ instatunnel auth logout
✅ Logged out successfully
🗑️ API key removed from config

🔐 Tunnel Security

Password Protection

# Protect your tunnel with a password
$ instatunnel 3000 --password mypassword123
✅ Tunnel created: https://abc123.instatunnel.my
🔒 Password protection enabled
🔑 Visitors will be prompted for password

Simple password protection - visitors need to enter the password before accessing your tunnel.

HTTP Basic Authentication

# Basic authentication with username:password
$ instatunnel 3000 --auth admin:secret123
✅ Tunnel created: https://abc123.instatunnel.my
🔐 Basic authentication enabled
👤 Username: admin

Standard HTTP Basic Authentication - more secure than simple password protection.

Security Best Practices

# Use environment variables for passwords
$ export TUNNEL_PASSWORD="mySecurePassword123!"
$ instatunnel 3000 --password $TUNNEL_PASSWORD
# Or for basic auth
$ export TUNNEL_AUTH="admin:secret123"
$ instatunnel 3000 --auth $TUNNEL_AUTH

🔒 Security: Never hardcode passwords in scripts or commit them to version control. Always use environment variables.
