#ngrok

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.

LocalXposeLocalXpose | Bye bye localhost, hello worldReverse proxy that enables you to expose your localhost to the internet.

Are there any possible security considerations, when using a (reverse proxy) service like #ngrok?

While an internet service provider might not be able to look at traffic (meta data), the reverse proxy service provider might, in theory.

Also, in which cases a man-in-the-middle attack is possible?

On the plus side, today's question about #ngrok appears to be irrelevant because the problem originated on my server.

On the downside, I have no idea why I had a disk error that locked up the machine that left no evidence of a problem afterwards.

So, yeah.
