TLDR
Expose a local port using the public bore.pub server
$ bore local [local_port] --to bore.pub
Expose a local port to your own remote Bore server$ bore local [local_port] --to [remote_server_address]
Expose a specific local host instead of localhost$ bore local [local_port] --local-host [host] --to [remote_server_address]
Request a specific remote port explicitly$ bore local [local_port] --to [remote_server_address] --port [remote_port]
Use a secret for authentication$ bore local [local_port] --to [remote_server_address] --secret [your_secret]
SYNOPSIS
bore local [options] localport_
DESCRIPTION
bore local creates a tunnel from a local port to a remote bore server, making the local service accessible via the remote server's public address. This is useful for exposing development servers, webhooks, or other local services.The connection is maintained as long as the command runs, and traffic is forwarded bidirectionally.
PARAMETERS
-t, --to address
Remote bore server address (required)-l, --local-host host
Local host to forward from (default: localhost)-p, --port port
Remote port to request on the server (default: 0, meaning the server assigns a random available port)-s, --secret secret
Authentication secret for the server-h, --help
Display help information
INSTALL
sudo pacman -S bore
nix profile install nixpkgs#bore
CAVEATS
When --port is 0 (the default), the server assigns a random available port and prints the resulting public address on startup. Connection stability depends on network conditions. The secret must match the server's configured secret if authentication is required. Forwarded traffic is not encrypted by bore itself.
