Report Abuse
tunl.cc is a free tool for developers to expose local servers for legitimate testing. Misuse — phishing, malware distribution, illegal content, copyright infringement, or any activity prohibited by our Terms of Service — is grounds for immediate tunnel termination and, where appropriate, account ban and law-enforcement referral.
How to report
Email abuse@tunl.cc with the details below. We aim to respond within 48 hours and act on verified reports as soon as we can confirm the abuse.
Required:
- The full URL(s) of the abusing tunnel (e.g.,
https://example.tunl.cc/path) - Date and time you observed the abuse (with timezone)
- What you observed — phishing, malware, illegal content, etc.
- Evidence: screenshots, headers, payload samples, or links to threat-intel entries (PhishTank, URLhaus, VirusTotal)
Helpful but optional: your name and organisation, so we can follow up if we need clarification.
DMCA / copyright
For copyright takedown notices, send a complete DMCA notice to
abuse@tunl.cc
with subject line DMCA Notice.
Include all elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3): identification of the work,
identification of the infringing material (with the tunl.cc URL), your contact
information, the good-faith and accuracy statements, and your physical or
electronic signature.
Counter-notices are accepted at the same address.
Law enforcement
Law enforcement requests (subpoenas, preservation requests, emergency disclosure requests) should be sent to abuse@tunl.cc from an official agency email address. We retain tunnel registration metadata (subdomain, source IP, timestamps) for 90 days.
What we cannot help with
- Disputes between tunnel operators and their visitors — content is owned and served by the tunnel operator, not by tunl.cc.
- Lost or forgotten subdomains. Subdomains are ephemeral and not reservable.
- Recovering data sent through a tunnel. We do not log request or response bodies.
