I’ve been using self-hosted localtunnel but man is it unstable. It loses connections several times a day and never releases now “dead” urls, so you can’t count on a specific sub domain.
I’ll have to give serveo a whirl

#12I’m a big fan of Cloudflare Tunnels: https://www.cloudflare.com/products/argo-tunnel/
https://ngrok.com is also a very good alternative.

#13NAT has crippled the Internet. We are permanently dependent on public facing servers to route packets from one device to the other. This service is absolutely not needed in a non-NAT world. And I strongly believe we have lost a lot by being completely dependent on client-server model of Internet. I've written more about it here https://www.ankshilp.in/post/the_broken_promise_of_internet/
I'm probably missing something, but I think that, for home networks at least, NAT is wonderful because of how it requires some effort to make devices exposed on the external network. If we were given an unlimited supply of IP addresses from the ISP and all devices were accessible externally, it seems security issues in would be a much larger problem.

Agreed. In particular when testing any sort of web hooks/callbacks, I get pretty sick of constantly updating configurations as the ngrok tunnels change subdomain.
Self-hosting is also a nice option.

#15Why does edge/defender report this site is unsafe ?

The original purpose of NAT was to get additional devices connected to Internet since we had shortage of Ipv4 addresses. For security, we have firewalls. If we had not been dependent on NAT for security, firewalls would have been actually configured. We will have to configure firewalls with ipv6 anyway.

I have this problem with Servo. Having your own name is big advantage over ngrok. But connection need restart regularly.

Fortunately we're being uncrippled again by the continued deployment of IPv6 [0]. [0]: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html
Germany (44%) and Belgium (53%) are killing it! The biggest surprise is India matching the US, must be that Indian mobile company that people mentioned here the other day?
I'd love to see similar graphs for TLS.
Edit: Google shows it only for Chromium sampling but it's nearly 90% in most countries which is almost double what it was before the Snowden leaks: https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/overview

#19Never really figured out how to use it with for Minecraft server for over predictive firewalls.
Isn’t it for HTTP traffic?

Yes! It's the same company. There network was ipv6 ready since day one.
