Introduction
Conduit is a webhook relay that tunnels live traffic from any provider directly to your local server. No port forwarding. No ngrok. One command.
How it works
- Create an endpoint — sign up and get a permanent relay URL like
https://relay.conduitrelay.com/ws-a3f2/ - Start Conduit — run
conduit start --port 3000in your project - Receive webhooks — every inbound request is forwarded to your local server in real time
Quick start
# Install
curl -fsSL https://get.conduitrelay.com | sh
# Log in (hosted relay)
conduit login
# Start forwarding to port 3000
conduit start --port 3000
Or install the VS Code extension for an in-editor experience.
