**Options:**

- `--config <path>`: Path to the TOML configuration file (default: `koreshield/config.toml`).

See the [Configuration Files](#configuration-files) section below for details on the config file format.

### `koreshield validate-config`

Validates a TOML configuration file without starting any tunnels. Useful for checking your config file syntax and structure.

```bash
# Validate default koreshield/config.toml
koreshield validate-config

# Validate a custom config file
koreshield validate-config --config /path/to/config.toml

Options:

--config <path>: Path to the TOML configuration file (default: koreshield/config.toml).

`koreshield <port>`

Starts a tunnel for the specified local port. This is the most common command you will use.

koreshield 3000

Arguments:

port: The local port number you want to expose (e.g., 3000, 8080).

Options:

--subdomain <name>: Request a specific subdomain.
--domain <domain>: Use a custom domain.
--org <slug>: Run the tunnel under a specific organization.
--key <token>: Use a specific API key instead of the logged-in user.
--no-logs: Disable tunnel request logs.

`koreshield switch`

Switch between organizations. If you belong to multiple organizations, you can use this command to change your active context.

# Interactive selection
koreshield switch

# Direct switch
koreshield switch my-org-slug

`koreshield whoami`

Displays information about the currently authenticated user and the active organization.

koreshield whoami

`koreshield logout`

Clears the local authentication credentials.

koreshield logout

Configuration Files

You can define multiple tunnels in a TOML configuration file and start them all at once using the koreshield start command.

Config File Format

Create a koreshield/config.toml file in your project directory:

[global]
org = "my-team"
server_url = "wss://api.koreshield.com/"

[tunnel.web]
protocol = "http"
local_port = 3000
local_host = "localhost"
subdomain = "my-app"
custom_domain = "app.example.com"

[tunnel.api]
protocol = "http"
local_port = 8000
subdomain = "api"

[tunnel.postgres]
protocol = "tcp"
local_port = 5432
local_host = "localhost"
remote_port = 20000

[tunnel.game-server]
protocol = "udp"
local_port = 5000
remote_port = 30000

Configuration Options

Global Settings:

org: Default organization slug for all tunnels (can be overridden per tunnel)
server_url: Tunnel server URL (optional, defaults to production server)

Tunnel Settings:

protocol: Tunnel protocol - "http", "tcp", or "udp" (required)
local_port: Local port number to expose (required, 1-65535)
local_host: Local hostname (optional, defaults to "localhost")

custom_domain: Custom domain for HTTP tunnels (optional, HTTP only)
remote_port: Remote port for TCP/UDP tunnels (optional, TCP/UDP only)
org: Organization slug for this tunnel (optional, overrides global setting)

Example Usage

# Validate your config file first
koreshield validate-config

# Start all tunnels from koreshield/config.toml
koreshield start

# Start tunnels from a custom config file
koreshield start --config production.toml

Global Flags

These flags can be used with most commands:

--version, -v: Display the current CLI version.
--help, -h: Display help information.
--config <path>: Path to config file (for start and validate-config commands).
