Port Forwarding

Forward ports to make HTTP services on your instance publicly accessible with automatic HTTPS and DDoS protection.

Forward a Port

  1. Select your running instance using the checkbox
  2. Click Forward Ports in the actions bar (or use the instance’s row action menu)
  3. Enter the port number(s) to forward
  4. Click Forward Ports to confirm
Your service becomes available at:
https://<instance-uuid>-<port>.thundercompute.net

Manage Forwarded Ports

Open the Forward Ports dialog on a running instance to see all currently forwarded ports. From there you can remove individual ports to stop forwarding them.

Limitations

  • Port 22 is reserved for SSH and cannot be forwarded
  • Valid port range: 1-65535
  • HTTP only: Your service must speak HTTP or gRPC. Other protocols like raw TCP or UDP are not currently supported.
