Description-en: secure introspectable tunnels to localhost - server part
ngrok creates a tunnel from the public internet to a port on your
local machine. You can give this URL to anyone to allow them to try
out a web site you're developing without doing any deployment.
.
It captures all traffic through the tunnel. It displays information
about the HTTP traffic for your inspection. Raw request/response
bytes, parsed headers and form data, JSON/XML syntax checking and more
are included. It can also replay requests.
.
By default, ngrok will use ngrok.com as a third-party relay. This
service is provided at no-cost and without registration but it is
possible to get additional features by signing up in the service
(which is pay-as-you-want kind). However, it is possible to setup and
use its own server.
.
This package installs the server part of ngrok. It permits one to use
the client without using ngrok.com
