Only your authenticated Docket account can access the proxied services. If your laptop can hit it, Docket can test it. ### Install the CLI Download and install the Docket CLI from our official distribution: ```bash theme={null} curl -fsSL https://api.docketqa.com/tunnel/install | bash ``` Add the CLI to your PATH: ```bash theme={null} export PATH="$HOME/.docket/bin:$PATH" ``` > **Tip**: Add the export line to your shell profile (`~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, etc.) to make it permanent. ### Authenticate Link the CLI to your Docket account. This account will be the only one with access to services exposed over the tunnel: ```bash theme={null} docket auth ``` ### Start the Tunnel Start the tunnel to automatically proxy traffic to your local services: ```bash theme={null} docket start ``` While the tunnel is running: * Your local services are accessible from within your authenticated Docket account * Resources are **not** accessible from the public internet or any other Docket account * Press `Ctrl+C` to stop the tunnel ### Pointing Tests at Your Tunnel * **Web**: set the test's **URL** to your local address (e.g. `http://localhost:3000`). * **iOS / Android**: apps that already talk to a private host just work. To jump to a private web app, use a **Deep Link** step. iOS test using a localhost deep link through the Docket tunnel
