So easy and super convienient if you quickly need your local server accessible from somewhere else.
- Improvotter 8y agoI keep a VPS running with Nginx on it for a specific port. Then I forward that port via SSH using remote forwarding to enable this exact functionality. It's free if you've already got a server running.
- avip 8y agongrok is free even if you don't have a server running... and you can tunnel raw TCP. (not affiliated, I just really admire ngrok so I take it personally when people don't use it :))
- aerovistae 8y agogod, I had this same idea and thought about making it! I'm so glad you shared this, I had no idea someone else already did it! and did a great job with it, too, by the looks of it
- npstr 8y agoThis one is even easier because it doesn't require to install anything, just make a good old ssh tunnel: http://localhost.run http://localhost.run
- jakelazaroff 8y agoThe thing I really love about ngrok, though, is the web dashboard where you can inspect your tunnelled traffic and even replay requests: https://ngrok.com/docs#inspect https://ngrok.com/docs#inspect
- brink 8y agoOh, looks like you can get a consistent sub-domain too, provided it's unique enough. Nice.
- tyrbo 8y ago<3 ngrok. been paying (love reserved names) for a while now. for a self hosted option, I've also been using https://github.com/fatedier/frp https://github.com/fatedier/frp lately.
- vishaltelangre 8y agoI found https://serveo.net https://serveo.net as a good alternative to ngrok since it requires no signup, no installation and provides a custom subdomain for free.
