This sounds technically similar to runscope[1] (reverse proxy via the cloud), although they are specifically focused on debugging&#x2F;testing web APIs.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.runscope.com/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.runscope.com&#x2F;</a>

Author here. I made this tool with the intention of making it easier to develop websites and webservices as well as easier to share projects you&#x27;re working on with friends or at hackathons. Happy to answer any questions.

Is this &quot;free right now&quot; or &quot;free forever&quot;? Are you running this as a public utility or have an aim to turn it into a business?

Instant usefulness!<p>You might want to consider hosting the apps on a separate domain than your own to avoid some security gotchas. github did so recently and explains the rationale at: <a href="https://github.com/blog/1452-new-github-pages-domain-github-io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;1452-new-github-pages-domain-github-...</a>

Nice! I worked on localtunnel.me which has some similar goals. I like the SSL encryption option and the data capture. Could see that being useful for some use cases.

Very cool idea. Right now I&#x27;m using autossh to keep a reverse ssh tunnel open. It works reliably, but the performance is awful.<p>Great work!

Just what I was looking for! Excellent!<p>One thing I noticed, when I signed in with Github, your site didn&#x27;t use my primary email address.

This is really nifty, and Apache licensed to boot. Also, an excellent use of grok :)<p>Are you looking for open source contributors?

The replay button in the local web UI is enough to make this instantly useful. Thanks for building this.

really useful, quick to set up, nice console, and a lot easier than setting up port forwarding and dyndns. Thanks for an immediately useful tool!<p>P.S. I hope you&#x27;re not retaining all the data that goes through your server. You don&#x27;t want someone getting all snowdenny on you.

So if nginx is &quot;engine-x&quot; does ngrok &quot;negro-k&quot;?<p>Or is it a &quot;y&quot; sound like &quot;nguyen&quot;...?
