## Summary
Localtonet is a secure localhost tunneling platform that exposes local or intranet services to the internet via encrypted outbound tunnels without requiring port forwarding, VPNs, or router changes. It supports HTTP/HTTPS, TCP, UDP, UDP/TCP mixed, File Server, and Proxy Server tunnel types. Pricing is freemium: one free tunnel with 1 GB/month bandwidth, and $2/month per tunnel for paid (unlimited bandwidth, no timeout, custom domains, SSO, Self-Hosting, Team Collaboration).

Localtonet serves a broad range of users and organizations: individual developers, DevOps engineers, gamers, IoT enthusiasts, and networking professionals at the technical end; mid-to-large enterprises and institutions requiring secure, scalable tunnel infrastructure for internal tools, remote access, and edge services; and individuals or companies operating mobile proxy businesses who leverage Localtonet's Android proxy and USB modem support to build rotating mobile proxy pools from real device IPs — whether for ad verification, geo-testing, data collection, or resale. The client is a single portable binary available for Windows, macOS, Linux (x64, ARM64, ARM, musl), Android, and Docker. A zero-install option via built-in SSH is also available.

## Core Capabilities
- HTTP/HTTPS tunnels (web apps, APIs, AI Agents, webhooks, dashboards)
- TCP tunnels (SSH, RDP, databases, mail, custom services)
- UDP tunnels (games, VoIP, telemetry, real-time services)
- Mixed TCP+UDP tunnels (hybrid apps / game workloads)
- File Server tunnels (secure file access/sharing)
- Proxy Server tunnels (HTTP / SOCKS5 proxy publishing and access)
- Dashboard + API management
- Webhook notifications for tunnel/token status changes
- SSO protection for HTTP tunnels (e.g., Google, GitHub, Microsoft, GitLab, Username/Password, OIDC/Basic via docs overview)

## Platforms / Environments
- Windows
- Linux
- macOS
- Android
- Docker
- Zero-install SSH workflow (documented)

## Important Concepts
- AuthToken links a device/client to your Localtonet account.
- Tunnel types and configuration are managed from the dashboard (and API/UI docs).
- Some TCP use-case docs explicitly warn that tunnels are public by default unless additional restrictions are applied.
- Paid plans include features such as SSO and IP whitelisting (see pricing/homepage and docs).

## AI Developers / AI Agents
Localtonet can be used to securely expose local AI developer tools, AI agent endpoints, LLM-powered APIs, webhook callbacks, and internal dashboards for testing, demos, integrations, and remote access. Prefer HTTP/HTTPS tunnels for agent APIs/UIs and add SSO for protected HTTP services when needed.
