Port Forwarding

Reach a pod or service running inside the cluster from your local machine — no kubectl port-forward command to remember.

Forward a port

1. Open the Port Forwarding view (or start a forward from a pod or service drawer).
2. Choose the target pod or service and the container/target port.
3. Pick a local port (or let Kubexer pick a free one).

Kubexer opens the tunnel and shows it in the list of active forwards.

Manage tunnels

Active forwards stay visible with their local and remote ports. Stop any tunnel with one click; they're cleaned up automatically when you disconnect from the cluster.

Tips

• Forward a database service to connect a local GUI client during debugging.
• Forward an in-cluster dashboard that isn't exposed via Ingress.
