PortTraceX - Reveal why a port is in use

“Does PortTraceX work with remote servers?” - Today, the answer is finally YES. PortTraceX started as a simple, beautiful macOS tool to help developers instantly identify and kill local processes blocking their ports. But the real pain wasn’t just local ports. It was remote infrastructure, servers you SSH into daily, staging machines, side-projects running on VPSs, production services you need to check quickly, or random processes blocking ports somewhere out there in the cloud.

🚀 PortTraceX Phase 2 Is Here. When I launched PortTraceX, the very first users all asked the same thing: “Can I manage ports on my remote servers too?” -> So I built it. After weeks of refining, testing, and polishing — Phase 2 is live. And it turns PortTraceX into a seriously powerful dev tool. 🌐 Remote Server Controls - All Inside PortTraceX 🔑 1. SSH Into Any Server Without Leaving the App - No terminals, no command memorizing. - Just connect and instantly see what's running. - View active ports & processes on remote machines - Kill remote processes safely with one click 🔁 2. Built-In Port Forwarding (Supercharged) - Forward any remote service to your local machine — instantly. - Perfect for testing APIs, databases, background workers, or private admin panels. - No need to write SSH commands ever again. 📡 3. Real-Time Access Logs (My Favorite Feature) - For every forwarded port, you get a live stream of: - Incoming requests - Response payloads - Status codes - Timestamps & IPs It's like having a tiny observability tool built directly into your SSH tunneling. 🧑‍💻 Made for Developers Who Want Speed + Visibility This update makes debugging remote issues as fast as debugging local ones - without switching tools. If PortTraceX saved minutes before, Phase 2 saves hours.
