Tunnels as a Service: We Built a Managed ngrok Alternative on SSH

You're building a Stripe webhook handler. Your local dev server is running on port 3000. Stripe needs a public URL to send events to. You do what every developer has done before: open a terminal and type ngrok http 3000.

It works. For a while.

Then you hit the rate limit. Or the random subdomain changes every restart. Or you need to whitelist a specific IP and ngrok's plan doesn't cover it. Or your company's security policy blocks third-party tunneling software.

At Filess, we built our own managed tunnel infrastructure, and we're making it available as part of the platform. Here's the full technical breakdown of how it works.

You're building features for the Example App from your favorite coffee shop. You need to connect to the production database to debug a weird order issue.

But wait—you're on public Wi-Fi. Your IP address changes every time you reconnect.

Do you open port 3306 to the world? No. Do you constantly update your firewall rules with your new IP? Tedious. Do you set up a complex OpenVPN server? Overkill.

Enter Filess.io + Tailscale.
