A practical workflow
- Install the CLI globally via npm and start a tunnel with a single command specifying the local port.
- Use the CLI command 'outray <port>' to expose a local port, optionally specifying subdomain or custom domain.
- Manage multiple tunnels using a TOML configuration file and start them all at once with 'outray start'.
