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:

     ssh -p 443 -R0:localhost:8000 -o ServerAliveInterval=30 a.pinggy.io
     

   You can customize the command here:

   When the tunnel reconnects, your public URL will change. Upgrade to Pinggy Pro for persistent URLs.

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.

   

3. Access the Startup Folder:

   • Press Win + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.
   • Type shell:startup and press Enter. This will open the Startup folder.

   

4. Move the Batch File:

   • Copy or move the pinggy_tunnel.bat file you created into this Startup folder.

   

5. Run Tunnel on Startup:

   • The pinggy_tunnel.bat file in the Startup folder will execute automatically each time you log in to your Windows account.
