About LocalTunnel
LocalTunnel is a utility that allows developers to easily share a web service running on their local development machine with others, without the need for complex DNS configurations or firewall adjustments. It assigns a unique, publicly accessible URL that proxies all incoming requests to the specified local web server.
This tool is ideal for developers who need to showcase their work in progress, test webhooks, or validate UI changes in cloud browsers. By providing a temporary public endpoint, LocalTunnel simplifies the process of collaborating and getting feedback on locally hosted applications, making it accessible to anyone with the generated URL. It eliminates the hassle of deploying to a staging environment just for quick demonstrations or testing.
