tunneling: binding a web service running on localhost to a public endpoint. useful when you want to expose the service running on your development machine to a dependent team member (like UI developers) fc-polls.vercel.app/polls/f2a93101-8d08-4fbd-a919-c4d6ea1b0f1a

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

thats cool. what do you use tunneling so often for? I rarely find myself reaching for it and ngrok has been great when I need to

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

This sounds incredibly helpful for a few projects I’m working on. Any chance your tunneling software is open source? Or would you recommend just using ngrok?
