Serve a Port

uplink serve 3000
uplink serve 3000 --open
uplink serve 3000 --auth s3cr3t
uplink serve 3000 --name api

uplink serve <port> is the quick path for one local loopback port. It serves in the foreground until interrupted.

The default is private access. --open makes the route public. --auth <token> switches the route to bearer/password mode; the raw token is hashed locally before storage or edge registration.

Use --name to control the URL prefix. Use uplink.yaml and uplink up when you need multiple services, firewall rules, reusable access policies, per-service edges, or request inspection.
