Bypass `localhost:3000`. Map custom local domains, auto-generate secure HTTPS certificates, and instantly preview development directories natively on Windows 10.

Download Vix

Why use Vix?

Instant DNS Routing

Vix automatically safely edits your system's `hosts` file on the fly. Enter a domain, pick a folder, and your browser instantly resolves it locally.

Auto-HTTPS Generation

Stop dealing with blocked resources or browser warnings. Vix automatically generates trusted certificates and binds directly to Port 443.

One-Click Imports

Package your environments into a `.vix` archive. Anyone can import your configuration and instantly launch your project with zero setup.

Developer Integration Guide

Want to ship a pre-configured project environment to a client or team member? Package your files into a .vix file. Vix automatically unpacks it, reads the configuration, and launches the site.

  1. Create a standard master directory on your computer for the project.
  2. Inside that folder, create a vix.json file to dictate your target domain: 
    {
  "domain": "example.com"
}
  3. Create a public folder right next to your json file. Place your frontend application inside this public directory.
  4. Highlight both vix.json and the public folder, right-click, and compress them into a standard zip archive.
  5. Rename the resulting file extension from .zip to .vix.

When a user clicks Import .vix inside the client, the application will auto-fill the requested domain and securely serve the payload.
