LocalCan annual amounts are monthly equivalents × 12, not verified checkout or invoice totals. The ISO currency behind the source’s $ symbol is not separately confirmed. Tax may apply. LocalTR regional eligibility, tax and totals must be explained before sales open; no exchange-rate or savings comparison is made.
Evaluate with one project.
Inspect the request path and response in the sample screen. The browser demo is not a native installation or a real tunnel test.
- Explore local naming and HTTPS in the sample workflow.
- Match a sample request to its response and define your test’s expected outcome.
- Check your public URL, device and protocol needs against the scope above.
Installation testing on your Mac can follow when the package is ready. No automatic settings or license transfer is offered.
Permissions, public traffic and captures.
What approvals does local HTTPS need?
LocalTR’s local-address helper and CA trust setup may need administrator approval. Creating a certificate does not establish browser trust; trust on the Mac does not automatically extend to other devices. Review approvals and trust removal in the installation guide.
Helper and CA setup stepsWhere does public sharing traffic go?
LocalTR HTTP requests and responses pass through the relay to the service on your Mac and can include headers and bodies. This is not source-code uploading. No guarantee is made of end-to-end encryption unreadable by the relay. A local .local name alone does not open internet access.
Read about relay and data flowShould captures and access controls be evaluated alike?
LocalTR keeps capture copies on the Mac; selected-field redaction does not remove every secret. Native Replay sends a real request. LocalTR checks the password in the Mac app; LocalCan documentation describes server-side access controls. Do not assume equal scope or protection.
