Create UDP Tunnels with Pinggy CLI

Using Pinggy CLI (beta) you can create UDP tunnels to localhost. UDP tunnels cannot be created using SSH command.

This command present user with a URL and a UDP port. Port allocation changes per connection. However, Pro users can reserve a persistent port on https://dashboard.pinggy.io
