I do this a lot using 3rd party services like ngrok but I keep running out of credits quickly, so finally I made my own tunneling service: now when I want to temporarily expose a web service/page from localhost, I run: `just tunnel-service <PORT>` which automatically creates a random string DNS CNAME record hostname under my tunneling domain *.tunnel.wtf

over the last 4-5 months: testing wallet apps behavior on an app I'm working on tunnel -> visit from multiple devices and check more generally: I work with a distributed team and a few non-technical team members. I've found the fastest way to collect feedback on a web feature (or any network-requiring-feature) is to tunnel and share url in team chat
