Like I said, different trade offs for different circumstances/tastes.

Personally, I prefer a generic solution that doesn't rely on a specific third party for something as everyday as tunnelling internet requests back to my dev machine. I value that more than the replay and zero-maintenance benefits of ngrok.

Doesn't mean my approach is better than yours. Just means my approach suits me more :)

Edit: btw my earlier post should have read "easier to debug" rather than audit - sorry.
