vox share — Abuse Policy and ToS Reference (2026)
Section titled “vox share — Abuse Policy and ToS Reference (2026)”What vox share does
Section titled “What vox share does”vox share packages and invokes third-party tunnel clients on the user’s machine. Traffic flows directly between the user’s machine and the tunnel provider’s edge — Vox does not proxy, relay, or inspect traffic.
The Vox project’s role is limited to distributing the launcher software that invokes these third-party services. All network connectivity is established and operated by the selected tunnel provider.
Terms of Service references
Section titled “Terms of Service references”Users are responsible for complying with the applicable Terms of Service when using vox share.
| Provider | ToS |
|---|---|
| Cloudflare Quick Tunnels (default) | Cloudflare Online Services Terms |
| localhost.run | localhost.run Terms |
| Tailscale Funnel | Tailscale Terms of Service |
On first use, vox share displays a one-time prompt requiring the user to acknowledge these terms. This prompt can be suppressed in non-interactive environments with --accept-tos.
Abuse and takedown
Section titled “Abuse and takedown”Because Vox does not operate the relay infrastructure, abuse complaints about content served via vox share should be directed to the tunnel provider:
- Cloudflare: abuse@cloudflare.com
- localhost.run: see localhost.run FAQ
- Tailscale: security@tailscale.com
If an abuse report is received by Anthropic or the Vox project, we will acknowledge receipt and direct the reporter to the appropriate tunnel provider. We do not have the ability to terminate individual tunnel sessions or inspect their traffic.
Privacy
Section titled “Privacy”- Cloudflare and localhost.run may log connection metadata (IP addresses, timestamps, domain names) in accordance with their respective privacy policies.
- Tailscale Funnel traffic is subject to Tailscale’s Privacy Policy.
- LAN backend traffic stays on the local network and is not routed through any third-party service.
- The shared app itself may log user interactions. App-level logging and data handling are the responsibility of the app developer.
Vox does not collect or store any metadata about vox share sessions.
Stability
Section titled “Stability”Cloudflare Quick Tunnels are a free, no-SLA service. Session URLs are ephemeral (unique per session, not persistent). If Cloudflare tightens access controls or is unreachable, vox share automatically falls back to localhost.run. For stable, persistent URLs, use --backend tailscale (requires an active Tailscale account).
