Turns your browser into a reverse proxy so localhost can be accessed from outside

Features

• Creates a reverse proxy with Cloudflare Worker + Web Workers that lets localhost be accessed from outside
  • Can forward abc.your-domain.com to localhost:1234
• Can create multiple subdomains with a Cloudflare TLS Wildcard certificate
• Local web services are protected and optimized by Cloudflares Web Application Firewall (WAP), with support up to HTTP/3
• Each subdomain maps to one Durable Object and can handle about 100~500 RPS
• Uses the WebSocket Hibernation API, so you are charged only when forwarding requests
• Most reverse proxy tools require a CLI install, but Tabserve installs just by loading a page and is isolated by the Chrome browser
• No TCP/UDP; it is an HTTP-Only proxy
• CORS must be enabled on the localhost web server
