Public Shares

zrok supports public sharing for web-based (HTTP and HTTPS) resources. These resources are easily shared with the general internet through public access points.

Peer to Public

public sharing is most useful when the person or service accessing your resources does not have zrok running locally and cannot make use of the private sharing mode built into zrok. Many users share development web servers, webhooks, and other HTTP/HTTPS resources.

As with private sharing, public sharing does not require you to open any firewall ports or otherwise compromise the security of your local environments. A public share goes away as soon as you terminate the zrok share command.

Using public shares is easy and is accomplished using the zrok share public command. Run zrok share public to see the command-line help and to learn how to use public shares.
