Creating Tunnels

Learn how to create and manage tunnels through the InTunnel dashboard.

Prerequisites

• An InTunnel account (Register here)
• A local service running on your machine

Creating Your First Tunnel

Step 1: Log In

Visit intunnel.cloud and log in to your account.

Step 2: Access Dashboard

Click on Dashboard in the navigation menu.

Step 3: Create New Tunnel

1. Click the Create Tunnel button
2. Fill in the tunnel details:

Field	Description	Example
Subdomain	Your unique URL prefix	myapp
Domain	Choose from available domains	intunnel.cloud
Description	Optional note for your reference	Development server

3. Click Create

Step 4: Copy Your Token

After creation, you'll see your tunnel token. Copy it securely - you'll need it for the client.

WARNING

Keep your token secret! Anyone with your token can use your tunnel.

Tunnel Settings

Subdomain

Choose a memorable, unique subdomain for your service:

• Letters, numbers, and hyphens allowed
• Must be unique across all users
• Case-insensitive (MyApp = myapp)

Good examples:

• my-portfolio
• api-dev
• team-preview

Domain Options

Domain	URL Example
.cloud	myapp.intunnel.cloud
.online	myapp.intunnel.online
.tech	myapp.intunnel.tech

All domains have the same features - pick whichever you prefer!
