I find it quite amusing that I read the pgrok and ngrok websites (at least the front page) and cannot understand what the hell either of them do. It's like they can do almost anything...what exactly? .... well whatever you can think of.....er like what? You can open localhost to the internet.......?????????? Sorry? Anyhow if anyone would care to put me out of my misery by explaining a bit I'd be grateful.

I love seeing alternatives but one thing I really appreciate about ngrok is the web UI. The log of incoming requests, headers and payloads, is very helpful during development. Do any of these alternatives offer something similar? Or is there an additional tool that can be leveraged?

I work on the open source OpenZiti project. We recently released zrok (https://zrok.io/), we have Local Debugging Interface in the backlog - https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/73.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen an alternative to ngrok that includes their “Inspection Interface” - that is such a useful feature for debugging.
