  • ngrok

    Expose your localhost to the web. Node wrapper for ngrok. (by bubenshchykov)

  • For organizing local tunnels, there is a very good service, ngrok, available for many platforms. Using ngrok, it is enough to execute a command like ngrok PORT and the port you specified will be available from the Internet. At the same time, if you use the free version of the service, you will have an address in the domain ngrok.com. If you decide to sign up for a paid subscription, you can use your own domain names, and, in addition, you can improve the security of the solution (using ngrok, you open access to your computer to the entire Internet).

It looks fun (and this is a plus), and it’s not a dumbed-down environment — you get all the power of Node.js, a CDN, secure storage for credentials, GitHub import/export, and much more.
