I’ve been looking for an ngrok alternative for a while now that’s (a) affordable (b) easy to use and (c) works with Kitten¹. Today, after testing a bunch of them again and getting fed up, I found LocalXpose that checks all the boxes.
I signed Small Technology Foundation up as an affiliate so if you use this link to check it out, we’ll get 40% of your $6/mo pro account fee should you subscribe:
…Before this, I had set up a tiny VPS server that I installed WireGuard on that I was using to expose my dev server. It was a geeky exercise in setting up WireGuard, NAT/port-forwarding, etc. and it worked but with notable downsides:
• I could only use it from one computer at a time
• It meant my machine was removed from the local network so I couldn’t, for example, also control my Atem Mini Pro for streaming/recording.
LocalXpose doesn’t suffer from either issue.
@aral you can set up wg on multiple pc - having wg inf does not affect local connectivity - wg is leader of open source vpn tech - why are you trying to sell everything - be geeky and sell only really exceptional stuff
@gary_alderson I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m talking about the experience I had and what works for me. And if you’re criticising an affiliate link for a $6/mo subscription, 40% of which would benefit our not-for-profit that’s been struggling to exist for the last however many years because everything we do is free and open source and we haven’t got any funding well… I mean… I guess we should just die, eh?
