This is a great idea but I'm a bit concerned about your bandwidth costs and illegal/malicious content being hosted used under your domain.
For the second point, you might want to implement some kind of browser warning similar to what Ngrok does.
Thats a fair point, there are some protections in place for abuse already. I will have a look at what ngrok does for browser warnings. Thanks a lot for the suggestions.
How are you able to host it for free?
I am paying for it out of pocket. Its free for you to use, but not for me to host it :)
Love the approach, simplicity and concept. SPA works fine if entry point is / if /terms /privacy greated with 404.
Hey, thanks for the comment. I am having a look with my own apps and it seems to work with pages and nextjs middleware as well.
Built another localhost tunneling tool because I kept forgetting my ngrok auth token.
What it does:
- Expose localhost to the internet (HTTP/TCP/WebSockets) - Zero signup – just works immediately - Free
Nothing groundbreaking, just scratching my own itch for a no-friction tunnel service. Written in Go.

Happy to answer questions or hear how you'd improve it.
That's really cool. I guess this is an alternative to ngrok (which I like but hate due to having to sign in).

Yes, its free to use and does not require any clients (but you need to have ssh client installed)
