same idea, great project. folks pay for ngrok because it's 1) more reliable 2) more featureful

Is localtunnel free?

One is a big proprietary blob of mistrust and the other is localtunnel? Sorry if that sounds harsh but it's a shame I can't build and make sure that everything is above board.

Good on you though , that apart it seems a great idea well implemented. Easy to throw stuff up for prospects/clients in an agile way without having to talk to devops.

Why not free as in bird? It is already free as in beer.

I stopped used ngrok because after opening the tunneled URL a few times it started saying "too many HTTP requests" on a Wordpress project. It is common for those to have many images/scripts/styles so throttling by number of requests makes ngrok unusable, now a happy localtunnel user.
