Here, we demonstrate how to use the NoPorts Tunnel to bridge a web server on a remote machine to localhost:80 so we can access the web server locally.

We are assuming that the web server is running on port 8080, you can replace it with the port that your web server is running on. (Also works over TLS with port 443)

The command should look like:

npt -f @<client> -t @<device> -d <device name> -r @<relay> -p 8080 -l 80

Example:

npt -f @alice_client -t @alice_device -d my_server -r @rv_am -p 8080 -l 80

Now you can access localhost:80 in your browser to access the web server locally.
