What is ngrok?
ngrok exposes local servers behind NATs and firewalls to the public internet over secure tunnels.
How it works
You download and run a program on your machine and provide it the port of a network service, usually a web server. It connects to the ngrok cloud service which accepts traffic on a public address and relays that traffic through to the ngrok process running on your machine and then on to the local address you specified.
What it's good for
Demoing web sites without deploying Building webhook consumers on your dev machine Testing mobile apps connected to your locally running backend Stable addresses for your connected devices that are deployed in the field Running personal cloud services from your home

Said about ngrok as an alternative
Its quick to do your tasks
Actually, ngrok Is The Best Network Tunneling Program, But The Only Downside Is That (IT DOESN'T HAVE UDP PORTS SUPPORT) And This Takes Away .05 rating from me. And Its Lightweight too. It Works Only With One Command, And It Is Guaranteed That It Will NEVER EVER Fail To Do Its Job. So, ngrok 4.5/5
