!> WARNING: This is only meant for local development and testing. Should not be used in production!

To be able to use webhooks which all triggers of external services like Github rely on n8n has to be reachable from the web. To make that easy n8n has a special tunnel service (uses this code: https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel) which redirects requests from our servers to your local n8n instance.

To use it simply start n8n with --tunnel

n8n start --tunnel
