Start the command by typing:
“`bash
http://8080/lxstart
“`

Channels: How to Use them
LocalXpose provides support for multiple channels including HTTP, TCP UDP, TLS, etc. It is simple to change between them. Your command, for instance, might be as follows:

“`
For each type of connection, you will be given a suitable public address. Simple commands, no headaches.
Your Project. Your Project name.
Would you like to put your own stamp on it? LocalXpose lets users create their own subdomains. Who doesn’t like a personal flair? The command “subdomain” can be used to specify one.
