I tried to use this once and it was a mess, for some reason I had to go through multiple steps of creating and enabling tunnels, and in the end nothing worked.
I made a tunnel service that doesn't require account creation and is suitable for automated tools that need to spin up a web interface for non-routable networks. The hostname is derived from the public key used to authenticate your end of the tunnel:
How is it better than configuring <randomstring>.mydomain.com to point to my home networks IP address and have my router forward those connections to my desktop ? I have a batch job than sets up a Route53 record using whatsmyip service when I am testing my app on my localhost and another batch job that deletes the dns record when my tesing is complete.
Is there a npm package for this service? I ran into a situation where yesterday where I had to use localtunnel. I tried searching on npm but didn't find a package.
I used this once to debug live with coworkers. Now I use it 100% of the time for local builds. Super useful when doing front end work and you want hot reloading across multiple clients & you don’t want to lose things like Cloudflare Workers or Page Rule effects.
Cloudflare for Teams makes it even more powerful where you create a tunnel to a local build & then restrict traffic on the subdomain to a specific G Suite group in your org (ie QA or Developement).

Wow very cool! Using a known value is a great thing, I can totally see using this.
