If you have a public facing server then this can be had for free: ssh -nNT -R 8080:localhost:3000 myserver.com Et voilà, myserver.com:8080 now points to localhost:3000.
i havent tried showoff.io and little curious about how about internal reference translations? for example css files? does this translates to ???
Showoff doesn't touch the body of the requests, so you'd need to use relative URLs, change the "domain" config variable each time you make a new showoff tunnel, or set up an unlimited account where you can choose a permanent subdomain like "myserv.showoff.io".
Wow that's brilliant. I'm definetley a potential paying customer. That's cheaper than spinning up an Amazon EC2 micro instance to develop on at $5 a month. I'm not a big fan of dark gray background with darker gray text though.

Hmm I've been using the following: https://gist.github.com/932137 for some time now - it's just a bash function which lets me type: $ show 3000 test and get http://test.tekacs.com/ -> port 3000 on my computer using just SSH, assuming you have root access to the server (which you would need to set up forwarding on port 80 anyway...) $ ssh -tR 1080:127.0.0.1:$1 vps "sudo ssh -Nl \$USER -L $REMOTE:80:127.0.0.1:1080 loca…
Caveats:
- I'm sure showoff is better if you're firewalled.
- It's probably slightly easier to share just one file in a directory with showoff, but this could be remedied with a script that made a temporary webfs root and symlinked the shared files thither.
I was looking for exactly this service a few weeks ago and would be a paying customer, but I develop on Windows. A future market, if you're interested.
Check out http://pagekite.net/ , it's Python and it runs on Windows just fine. We are working on a user-friendly installer and GUI, but if you're a developer you don't need that. :-)
I love it and I'll probably buy a few day passes here and there. I also think Fortune 500 security teams are going to be blacklisting this domain soon just to keep their devs from opening holes in the firewall.
At the corporates I've worked at, this product would have been preemptively blocked anyway because it relies on an outbound ssh connection through the external firewall, which wouldn't have been allowed. I'm not sure if that's standard practice at other SuperGloboCorp organizations.
Perhaps I missed it in the FAQ, but how do you turn it off? CTRL+C? I understand that you're aiming for simplicity here, but it would be handy to have a menubar icon (or whatever is appropriate for the given platform) to indicate that it's running or not. Or maybe you actually have that, but it's not clear that you do from the website.
A menubar icon (assuming you're meaning Mac OS (or any OS really)) is not something you get from a simple shell script, typically. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
