# Accessing localhost from Anywhere

**[SitePoint](https://daily.dev/sources/sitepoint)** · 9 min read · 31 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Accessing localhost from Anywhere is possible through secure tunnel services online. These services provide you with a tunnel from the Internet to your machine. They provide a publicly accessible URL, watch for calls on that URL, and forward those calls to your localhost server. ngrok is an application for Windows, macOS and Linux that creates a tunnel but also allows you to inspect all traffic that goes through the tunnel.
