## Share local dev servers through Cloudflare Tunnel in Wrangler and Vite

May 18, 2026 

[ Workers ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/) 

You can now share local dev sessions through [Cloudflare Tunnel](https://developers.cloudflare.com/tunnel/) and get a public URL when using either [Wrangler](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/) or the [Cloudflare Vite plugin](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/vite-plugin/). This is useful when you need to share a preview, test a webhook, or access your app from another device.

This lets you either:

* start a temporary [Quick tunnel](https://developers.cloudflare.com/tunnel/setup/#quick-tunnels-development) with a random `*.trycloudflare.com` hostname, or
* use an existing [named tunnel](https://developers.cloudflare.com/tunnel/setup/#create-a-tunnel) for a stable hostname and to restrict access with [Cloudflare Access](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/access-controls/).

To start a tunnel, press `t` in Wrangler or `t + Enter` in Vite while your dev server is running. For details on setting up a named tunnel, refer to [Share a local dev server](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/local-development/local-dev-tunnels/).
