A Private Server over Home Wifi

• Check Port Availability on different IP-Addresses.

• Lists all Network Interfaces on your machine along with their MAC, IPv4 & IPv6 Addresses.

• Highly configurable commands using Flags & Arguments

• Access Helpful CLI Documentation using --help or -h on any of the commands.

• Usage

Check Releases for installation Instructions

The executable has three commands.

You can execute a command in the format: ServePort [command] [-flag] [flagValue]

Flags can help you configure the command for specific usage. They are optional & you can just run the command without Flags for default usage.

-h/--help Flag can be toggled upon any command or directly on the executable to get meaningful documentation.

WARNING: Make sure you trust the Private or Public network you are serving over. Strictly avoid Serving over Public Networks like Public Wifi's as you are more vulnerable to Unrestricted Access to your Server

-> It's recommended to stick to Localhost for most menial tasks!
