What do I need to get started?
A supported Windows 10 or 11 PC, an internet connection, a Cloudflare account, a domain on Cloudflare, and a compatible local HTTP web app. Private sharing also needs a Cloudflare Zero Trust organization and email one-time PIN sign-in. Homport guides the setup.
What kinds of apps can I share?
Web apps reachable over HTTP on your own PC, such as development previews and local dashboards. Some apps need their own public-hostname settings. Homport is not a general-purpose file, media, remote desktop, or arbitrary TCP sharing service.
Do visitors need to install anything?
No Homport installation is needed for visitors. They open the link in a browser. With a private share, Cloudflare asks them for an allowed email address and a one-time code before they reach your app.
Can I share a link publicly?
Yes. You can choose public sharing. Anyone with the address can reach a public share, so only use it for content you intend to expose. Any authentication provided by your local app is separate.
What happens when my PC goes to sleep?
Your app becomes unavailable. Keep your PC awake, connected, and your local app running while you share. Homport’s Keep awake option is subject to Windows power policies and cannot keep a switched-off PC online.
How will I get Homport?
Homport is planned as a one-time purchase through Microsoft Store. The Store listing and final price are not available yet. Cloudflare and domain-provider terms and charges are separate.
