What is ProximaTunnel?
ProximaTunnel is a solution for hosting local Minecraft servers. Forget complex router settings, port forwarding and third-party tunneling apps.
Just install the plugin on your server — and players can connect to it through our tunnel. Perfect for small servers, servers for friends and test setups.

Connecting to the server

ProximaTunnel is already built into ProximaClient: it turns on with a single checkbox — no manual plugin install, commands or config edits. The core and Java install themselves, and a server with friends comes up in a couple of clicks.
