Run Tunnel on Startup for Windows

To run a tunnel on Windows startup, follow these steps:

  1. Create a Batch File:

    • Open Notepad or any text editor.
    • Paste your Pinggy command into the text editor. For example:

    You can customize the command here:


    Invalid CIDR Format
    Invalid CIDR Format
    Alphanumeric characters only
  2. Save the Batch File:

    • After pasting the Pinggy command into the text editor, go to the ‘File’ menu and select ‘Save As’.

    • Choose a recognizable name for your batch file, such as pinggy_tunnel.bat.

    • Crucially, ensure you select ‘All Files’ from the ‘Save as type’ dropdown menu before saving. This prevents the file from being saved as a .txt file unintentionally.

    • Click ‘Save’ to confirm the creation of your batch file.
