Basically, OpenAI tunneling sucks and is broken most of the time. This can get you tunneling pretty trivially to share with someone temporarily. Roadmap includes being able to host MCP servers trivially as well.

Please do. And more importantly, use it only if it's useful!

The Skybridge framework also ships with an easy-to-use tunnel if you'd like to give it a try. It does require a signup, to avoid spam.

Nice. I made this project specifically because OpenAI tunnels don't work. So it makes sense that there are others who had the same idea.
