Open source tunnel for African developers # namd **Open source tunnel for African developers.** Expose your localhost to the internet. Test Paystack and Flutterwave webhooks locally. Share your work with clients. Keep coding when your internet drops. ```bash namd start # tunnel active → gabriel.82-165-x-x.nip.io ``` Installation · Quick start · Webhooks · Config reference · Self-hosting · Contributing --- ## Why namd Nigerian developers building with Paystack, Flutterwave, or any webhook-based API face a specific problem — you cannot test webhooks on localhost. The payment provider needs a real public URL. The existing tools cost money for the features you actually need, and their free tiers get more restricted every year. namd is free, open source, and built with African payment APIs in mind. --- ## Features - **Tunnel** — expose localhost to the internet with one command - **Webhook relay** — intercept Paystack, Flutterwave, GitHub webhooks — inspect payload, store events, replay missed ones - **Load balancer** — round robin, least connections, or random across multiple local backends - **Offline cache** — serve cached API responses when your internet drops — keep coding - **Live handoff** — battery dying mid-demo? transfer your running server to a trusted peer's machine - **Dashboard** — real-time request log, webhook inspector, handoff panel at `localhost:5555` - **Auth** — token-based identity — no anonymous tunnels - **Firewall** — per-tunnel IP rules and rate limiting from `namd.yml` --- ## Install ### Option A — Go install (if you have Go installed) ```bash go install github.com ``` This downloads, compiles, and installs namd to `~/go/bin/namd` automatically. Make sure `~/go/bin` is in your PATH. --- ### Option B — Download binary (no Go required) **How to know which one to download:** | Your computer | Download this | |--------------|---------------| | MacBook with M1, M2, M3, M4 chip (2020 or newer) | `namd-darwin-arm64` | | MacBook wit …
