xpos — a tunneling service

I’ve been working on a lightweight alternative to tools like Ngrok, with a focus on simplicity, speed, and real-time developer experience.

Meet xpos – a tunneling service that exposes your local server to the internet in seconds:

xpos http 8080

Instantly get a public HTTPS URL
TLS termination handled automatically
Works with HTTP, WebSocket, gRPC, and any tcp protocol.
No config, no account needed
100% free

Ideal for:

Sharing your local REST API during frontend development
Demoing a local web app to clients
Testing webhooks from Stripe, GitHub, etc.
Remote database/port access via TCP tunnel
ssh into your home computer over the internet (by exposing xpos tcp 22)

Built in Go with a focus on low latency and potential K8s controller integration.

Would love feedback from fellow devs and OSS contributors.
