SirTunnel, a Personal Ngrok Alternative

I went down the same rabbit hole as the author, and discovered localhost.run. Nothing new to install, 100% free and has always "just worked" for me.

That's what I've been using as well, I love the no client just SSH approach. I'm currently paying them a couple of dollars a month to use a custom domain and support the service.

I just run a DO droplet with a reserved IP at $4.50 per month. Just enable the SSH gateway and you can reverse-tunnel into it. Cheaper than localhost.run's $3.50 a month if you have multiple domains.

I've had issues with localhost.run going down before, which is why I switched.

The great thing about this method is that it works with literally any provider that provides SSH access.
