Show HN: Instantly create a secure URL to your Mac

I had to look into the meta tags to get a better description: `<meta property="og:description" content="Effortless live publishing for web developers">`

so I guess the target audience is developers who do not know how to configure a web server, setup proxies or other means of testing webhooks maybe? maybe there is a market for a product like this but obviously I would not be target audience either...

I work for a small company and do lots of work that would be nice to just share with my boss through a service like this versus having to deploy. I think it's more for a testbed than a replacement for actual web servers.

SSH remote port forwarding is your friend. You just need an ssh server somewhere thats publicly accessible.

Hence this service which would appear to be much easier than setting up a persistent remote ssh server with port forwarding.

Check out ngrok. It's absolutely brilliant for what you're describing.

I remember doing it before from my macbook. I'm not sure if that's a feature or not in os x anymore?
