It also took me awhile to figure out what ngrok does. Once I did, I can see the usefulness for sure. One path would be a list like you provide above, a sort of "your situation / your solution" approach, something like: You ... are developing a website/service your local machine You ... want to allow friends to test from outside your LAN BUT: You ... don't want to open a firewall hole to your DEV machine You ... want secure connections, but don't want to setup a valid cert You ... don't want to bother with your own reverse proxy AND You ... do want an inspectable, replayable copy of all traffic That's where we come in! obviously my text is clunky, but that sort of explanation would help me understand what "hassle" you are helping me avoid.
