 Port forwarding gives you access to TCP ports running within your codespace. For example, if you're running a web application on port 4000, you can access the application from your browser to test and debug the application.
 
-When an application running inside a codespace outputs a port to the console, {% data variables.product.prodname_codespaces %} detects the localhost URL pattern and automatically forwards the port. You can click on the URL in the terminal to open the port in a browser. For example, if an application outputs `http://127.0.0.1:4000` or `http://localhost:4000` to the console, the log would automatically convert the output to a clickable URL for port 4000.

 While ports can be forwarded automatically, they are not publicly accessible to the internet. By default, all ports are private, but you can [manually make a port public](/codespaces/developing-in-codespaces/forwarding-ports-in-your-codespace#sharing-a-port) to share access through a URL.
