Secure Exchange Tunnel 🔐🌍

A lightweight Node.js utility that securely proxies local or internal HTTPS services and exposes them to the internet using TunnelMole.
Perfect for *testing webhooks, **sharing internal dashboards, or *exposing services behind firewalls without complex configuration.

This project provides two ways to run the tunnel:

• A simple fixed configuration (tunnel.js)
• A flexible CLI-based tool (secure-exchange.js)

✨ Features

• 🔁 Reverse proxy using http-proxy
• 🔐 Works with self-signed HTTPS certificates
• 🌍 Public exposure via TunnelMole
• 🧰 CLI support for dynamic configuration
• ⚡ Minimal setup, fast to use

📦 Requirements

• Node.js v24.12.0+
• TunnelMole CLI installed globally

  npm install -g tunnelmole

🔧 Installation

• git clone https://github.com/RaoulBock/GhostGate.git
• cd secure-exchange-tunnel
• npm install

🚀 Usage

Option 1: tunnel.js (Simple & Fixed Configuration)

Use this option when you have one known internal service and want minimal setup.

1. Configure

Edit tunnel.js and update the values below:

const PORT = 1234;

target: https://example.domain.local:1234
host: example.domain.local

2. Run

node tunne.js

2. Output Example

🔁 Proxy running on http://localhost:1234 -> https://example.domain.local:1234
https://random-name.tunnelmole.net

You can now access your internal service using the generated TunnelMole URL

Option 2: secure-exchange.js (CLI-Based – Recommended)

This option is more flexible and ideal for scripts, automation, or multiple environments.

1. (Optional) Make Executable

chmod +x secure-exchange.js

2. Run with Arguments

node secure-exchange.js \
  --target https://internal.service.local:8443 \
  --host internal.service.local \
  --port 3000

• --target HTTPS service you want to expose
• --host Host header (domain only, no port)
• --port Local port the proxy listens on

3. Output Example

🚀 Proxy running on http://localhost:3000 -> https://internal.service.local:8443
https://secure-link.tunnelmole.net

Example use Cases

• ✔ Test Stripe / PayPal webhooks locally
• ✔ Share internal admin dashboards
• ✔ Expose services behind NAT or firewalls
• ✔ Demo local projects publicly

🔒 Security Notes

• • SSL verification is disabled to support self-signed certificates
• • TunnelMole URLs are public and temporary
• • Not recommended for production use without additional security
