Open Source Project of the Day (Part 13): Tunnelto - High-Performance Local Tunnel Tool Built with Rust

Introduction "What if a single command could let users from anywhere in the world access your locally running web server?" This is Part 13 of the "Open Source Project of the Day" series. Today we explore Tunnelto ( GitHub ). When developing and testing web applications, we often need to expose local services to external access — whether for remote colleagues to test, integrating third-party webhooks, or demonstrating to clients. Traditional solutions are either complex to configure, perform poorly, or require payment. Tunnelto is built with Rust and Tokio async IO, providing a high-performance, easy-to-use local tunnel solution that lets you expose your local service to the internet with a single command.
