From SpigotMCA plugin that allows you to play with friends on a local server without opening ports.

⚙️ How it works

Why use ProximaTunnel?
Hosting a server for friends is often tricky: opening ports, configuring routers, or downloading additional tools.
With ProximaTunnel, you just start your server, and your friends can join immediately.
