tunnel

tunnel is a skill for Claude Code from anivaryam/anivaryam-plugins. It costs 176 tokens per session (2,464 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for giving a local service a public internet address through a relay that you operate. It supports HTTP, TCP, and UDP connections, including optional routing by subdomain or path.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to temporarily expose a local web server, webhook endpoint, Postgres or SSH service, DNS service, or game server; it is not intended for production traffic.
Why use it?
It provides a public URL for development servers, webhook receivers, or demos when a local service cannot be reached from the internet or hosted tunnel limits are a problem.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tunnel scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

tunnel

Self-hosted ngrok alternative. CLI client + relay server. You own the relay, so the public URL stays under your domain.

Repo: github.com/anivaryam/tunnel. Binary: tunnel (install via brokit install tunnel, release tarball, or go install — note: go install skips daemon mode).

When to reach for it

  • Need a public URL for a local dev server, webhook receiver, or demo.
  • Need a public URL for TCP (Postgres, SSH) or UDP (DNS, game server).
  • ngrok rate limits / quotas are blocking work.
  • You control DNS and want the public URL under your own domain.

Do NOT use for: production traffic (deploy the app properly), bypassing corporate firewall policy, or anything where the public URL is the final delivery surface.

One-time setup

tunnel config set-server https://relay.example.com
tunnel config set-token   <your-token>
tunnel config show                # confirm (token masked)
tunnel doctor                     # validate config + relay reachability

Config lives at ~/.tunnel/config.yml (mode 0600). The doctor step is cheap and catches the common breakages (bad URL, unreachable relay, missing token) before you try to expose anything.

Expose a port

tunnel http 3000                              # random 16-char ID
tunnel http 3000 --name api                   # stable, requestable name
tunnel http 3000 --inspect                    # local inspector at :4040
tunnel tcp  5432                              # Postgres / SSH / etc.
tunnel udp  53                                # DNS / game server / etc.

URL form depends on the relay's BASE_DOMAIN:

  • Path mode (no BASE_DOMAIN): https://relay.example.com/t/<id>/
  • Subdomain mode (BASE_DOMAIN=relay.example.com): https://<id>.relay.example.com/

Named tunnels follow the same rule with <name> in place of <id>. Name rules: 1–32 chars, [a-z0-9-], no leading/trailing hyphen. Reserved names (dashboard, metrics, mail, login, app, docs, status, staging, prod, …) are rejected — full list in the relay's internal/server/names.go.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
