# Conduit A lightweight tunneling service that enables secure connection forwarding through a remote server. **How:** Deploy Conduit on a public server (e.g., `https://conduit.example.com`) to create tunnels from local services to the internet. Simply point a tunnel to your local endpoint (such as `localhost:8000`) and assign it a custom subdomain identifier like `black-fox-123`. Your local service becomes instantly accessible at `https://black-fox-123.conduit.example.com`. **Key Benefits:** - Expose local development servers to the internet - Share work-in-progress applications with clients or teammates - Test webhooks and external integrations - Bypass firewall restrictions for remote access Perfect for developers who need quick, temporary public access to local services without complex networking setup.
