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.

Building your own Ngrok in 130 lines
Running a local development server for your app is pretty common, but what if you wanted somebody else to access it? Maybe for a demo, or maybe to debug webhook integrations. If you've ever used Ngrok (or perhaps the original localtunnel), you know what I'm talking about.

The History and Future of Socket-level Multiplexing
If you've ever used Ngrok to open a public endpoint to a localhost server, you may not know it was one of several clones of a tool I made in 2010 called localtunnel. The original localtunnel was just a wrapper around SSH, literally using OpenSSH on the server side.

Portr – open-source ngrok alternative designed for teams
Last year I've configured a simple ssh + Caddy based ngrok alternative and it works beautifully every since. I've shared instructions on https://github.com/ziolko/tunnel for anyone interested.

Tunnelmole – Connect to local servers from anywhere
Some time ago I created an instruction on setting up a DIY ngrok alternative with just Caddy and SSH [1]. Works really well for me ever since.
