Local tunneling in Mobitru Connect

To open your localhost or internal server on a Mobitru real device, you can use Local tunneling in Mobitru Connect. The feature can be activated from the UI application or in Terminal.

When you use Local tunneling, you do not need to change anything in the device settings on the platform.

Steps to enable Local tunneling in the UI mode

– turn on VPN on your PC if needed.

1. Log in to the platform.

   2) Go to Devices -> Click on the device card or row -> Find the field in the Settings screen.

7. Paste the copied value to Device UDID/Serial number in Mobitru Connect.
