Deposure is a tunneling and reverse proxy tool that enables developers to expose local servers or applications to the public Internet. It functions similarly to ngrok, Localtunnel, and other tunneling utilities, allowing webhooks, APIs, and development servers running on localhost to be shared externally without reconfiguring network settings.
Overview
Deposure establishes a secure tunnel between a local development environment and a remote server endpoint. Once the tunnel is created, external traffic directed to the Deposure-assigned public URL is forwarded to the user’s local service. This removes the need for configuring firewalls, DNS records, or static IP addresses, which are often required to make local services publicly accessible.
The tool is primarily designed for software developers, testers, and teams who need a lightweight solution for temporarily sharing applications. It is frequently used for:
- testing and debugging webhooks,
- demonstrating applications to clients or collaborators,
- simulating production-like access to locally running services,
- integrating with third-party services during the development cycle.
Features
Deposure includes a range of features common to tunneling platforms:
- HTTP and HTTPS tunnels for exposing web applications,
- TCP tunneling for non-HTTP services,
- traffic inspection and monitoring dashboards,
- support for authentication and access control,
- integration with CI/CD pipelines,
- developer-friendly command-line interface.
Comparison with other tools
Deposure belongs to the same category of tools as ngrok, Localtunnel, and Pagekite. While the general architecture is similar across all these solutions—typically a client process establishes an outbound connection to a relay server, which then forwards traffic to the local environment—Deposure distinguishes itself by focusing on developer experience, flexibility in tunnel configuration, and integration into automated workflows.
Architecture
The client component of Deposure runs on the local machine, maintaining a persistent connection to a remote relay server managed by the Deposure service. Incoming requests to the public URL are routed through the Deposure servers and then proxied back to the local process. This architecture ensures compatibility across different platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, without requiring users to modify router or NAT configurations.
Use cases
Common scenarios where Deposure is applied include:
- Webhook testing – third-party APIs (such as payment gateways or messaging services) can deliver callbacks to a local machine during development.
- Rapid prototyping – developers can quickly share early versions of web applications without deployment.
- Remote collaboration – team members or stakeholders can interact with applications hosted locally, avoiding delays in deployment to staging environments.
- Automation and CI/CD integration – Deposure tunnels can be established within automated test pipelines to simulate real-world connectivity.
