Portr โ open-source ngrok alternative designed for teams
Thanks for the history. I maintain this list[0], and wasn't aware of OG localtunnel, likely because there's a somewhat newer and now more popular project with the same name[1]. You appear to be correct on timing. Here's the earliest commits on GitHub for each of the projects:
OG localtunnel (2010): https://github.com/progrium/localtunnel/tree/fb82920d9d3e538...
Other localtunnel (2012): https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel/tree/93d62b9dbb9f...
ngrok (2012): https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok/tree/8f4795ecac7f92...
I'll see that OG localtunnel gets added to the list for posterity.

Cloudflare Tunnel: a free ngrok alternative for exposing local Rails apps to the internet
These is a very common problem. Luckily, it's been solved already. My go-to tool for this was ngrok or localtunnel. Both of these tools are great, but they didn't fit my needs perfectly.

Localtunnel โ Expose Yourself to the World
Localtunnel used to be a nice tunnel. It has gone through some enshittification lately.

CGNAT, Free NGROK, Automation, Help Please... The struggle has been real.
So I''ve got Tailscale up and running on my server, the main pc and my phone how do I do the plex setup? I still need to either setup the funnel? Or use that localtunnel.me to "port forward"?

Ngrok alternative (TCP for the most part) for remote SSH
I think my project makes this pretty easy - no time limits, etc. Instructions for this case are here - https://gitlab.com/bitsii/Bitsii/-/wikis/setup-access-to-a-non-web-local-service . If you have UPnP enabled for port forward on your router it should "just work" once you've installed the bridge and setup the forward. It can also work to re-forward port through a vps if you don't have an internet connection that gives you a real ip to work with on your router.
Of course - first you install Bitsii Bridge. If your network is a "residential ISP" style arrangement and you have UPnP enabled on your home router and it has a public IP "on the outside" you are good to go at that point from the network perspective. If not you can also setup a bridge instance on a vps (including a free google cloud instance) and the Bridge can expose ssh via an ssh tunnel on the vps which will tie back to your local ssh instance. Once you have the bridge setup you can tell it to forward a port into your ssh service (or other services)

"All-in-1" solutions like HomelabOS or VivumLab for newbies?
My Project - Bitsii Bridge is meant to be exactly this - easy for inexperienced folks to get started with. It doesn't support all of the software options of the others - partly because it's limited to ones that seem to have a low-barrier to entry technically speaking, and also because it's new :-) If you decide to try it out let me know how it goes...
