- alexellisuk 6y agoTake a look at inlets - we have lots of examples in the docs https://docs.inlets.dev https://docs.inlets.dev - feel free to join Slack and chat with the community too.
- alexellisuk 6y agoFeel free to peruse the blog then for use-cases https://inlets.dev/blog https://inlets.dev/blog :-) And you'll find the docs linked from there with plenty of examples. Personal licenses for inlets PRO can be used at home and work now, so that's a bonus.
