What was your incentive for building this?
Nothing really, just wanted to see if I could build it.

#13Full circle. Jeff originally wrote the open source program localtunnel[0], which ngrox was originally built on top of (though I doubt it is still based on that but maybe), now an open source solution to replace the commercial thing, that's based on the open source thing :)
The beauty and freedom of open source shines through

I don't think you understand what these services do

I made my own as well (I think we're not far off parity between number of ngrok alternatives and developers), the main interest over ssh is traffic inspection. And not having an ssh port open to the world.

Why does everything have to have an incentive outside of "because I wanted to"?

I maintain the list mentioned above. Generally the main features on top of SSH you get from something like this is the reverse proxy in addition to the tunnels. So think SSH tunnel plus TLS certs, maybe auth, etc.
