How is it better than configuring <randomstring>.mydomain.com to point to my home networks IP address and have my router forward those connections to my desktop ? I have a batch job than sets up a Route53 record using whatsmyip service when I am testing my app on my localhost and another batch job that deletes the dns record when my tesing is complete.
- xx_ns 5y agoI'm guessing this is useful in situations where the home network is behind NAT and not routable, which is the case for a lot of ISPs.
- vineyardmike 5y agothis can also be useful in commercial dev when you have a random EC2 instance that you want to share with a nice URL.
