Portr – 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.

You Can't Follow Me
There are so many weird suggestions in the comments. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned ngrok https://ngrok.com/ (there are many competing alternatives as well). It makes exposing local service over HTTPS trivial. It's been used heavily in most of my engineering orgs.
