Public tunnels for local work
Connect Hosts to Internet, Quickly.
Built for developers who want to share localhost instantly. No deployment, no DNS setup, no infrastructure ceremony.
Traffic analytics
See what your tunnel is doing.
Preview requests as they arrive, compare success and failure, and keep latency visible while you test integrations.
Live activity
Requests / minute
A compact view for spikes, callbacks, and retry storms.
Features
Everything local work needs.
HTTP tunnels
Expose local web apps, APIs, and callbacks through a public HTTPS endpoint.
TCP forwarding
Forward SSH, databases, sockets, queues, and internal tools through a stable tunnel.
Request replay
Capture failed requests, fix your handler, then send the exact payload again.
Custom domains
Use your own domain for demos, client previews, and long-running integrations.
Reserved subdomains
Keep readable URLs for repeated webhook testing and shared team workflows.
Request inspection
Read method, route, status, latency, headers, response, and body in one place.
CLI
Commands that stay out of the way.
A CLI-first workflow for developers who want quick commands, readable output, and no extra setup.
Install
Install the CLI from the official install script.
curl -fsSL https://chiq.uz/install.sh | sudo bashHTTP tunnel
Expose a local app on a public HTTPS URL.
chiq http 3000TCP tunnel
Forward SSH, databases, or any raw TCP service.
chiq tcp 22
Inspector
Start with request logging and replay tools enabled.
chiq http 3000 --debugPricing
Simple while early access is open.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions.
Is chiq free to use during early access?
Yes! During early access, all core features—including HTTP tunnels, TCP forwarding, request inspection, replay tools, and custom subdomains—are 100% free with no credit card required.
How does TCP forwarding work for SSH & Databases?
Chiq supports raw TCP proxying (`chiq tcp 22` or `chiq tcp 5432`). It exposes a public TCP address and port on our edge network that securely tunnels directly to your local socket.
Can I use custom domains and reserved subdomains?
Yes. You can reserve custom subdomains like `my-app.chiq.uz` or point your own custom domain directly to your active tunnel session via CNAME records.
How does the Request Inspector & Replay work?
Running `chiq http 3000 --debug` logs all incoming webhook payloads, HTTP headers, status codes, and latency. You can replay any request with one click directly from the inspector interface.
Do I need to install any heavy dependencies or DNS setup?
No. Chiq is packaged as a single lightweight binary with zero dependencies. Run the 1-line install script and you're ready to create public tunnels instantly.
How secure are public tunnels created with chiq?
All HTTP tunnels are automatically encrypted end-to-end with TLS/HTTPS certificates. Traffic is routed over encrypted SSH/TLS transport connections directly to your machine.
