About
Serveo is a remote port forwarding service that exposes local servers to the internet through SSH, WireGuard, or a browser extension. It provides a public encrypted URL that routes traffic to localhost without requiring a proprietary client or download.
The free plan includes 3 active tunnels, custom subdomains, and an interstitial warning. It is aimed at developers doing hobby projects, testing, webhook checks, demos, and local device access, while the paid plan removes the warning and raises tunnel limits.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a genuinely usable capped plan: it includes 3 active tunnels and custom subdomains, but it keeps the interstitial warning and does not unlock the pro-only extras. Compared with the cheapest paid option at about $5/month equivalent, that’s roughly 60% of the paid plan’s practical value, so about $3/month.
