About:
Pgrok is an open-source, multi-tenant alternative to ngrok that enables secure HTTP and TCP reverse tunneling. It allows you to expose local services to the internet without complex firewall configuration, making it ideal for development and testing. The solution supports self-hosting, giving you full control over your tunneling infrastructure.

Key Features:

Multi-tenant architecture for multiple users
Support for both HTTP and TCP tunneling
Self-hosted solution for full control
Open-source and free to use
Simple configuration and deployment

Use Cases:

Exposing local web development servers to the internet
Testing webhooks and integrations that require public endpoints
Accessing internal services behind NAT or firewalls
Providing temporary public access to local databases or services

Alternatives:

ngrok – ngrok is the industry standard but has usage limits and is proprietary; Pgrok is open-source and self-hosted
localtunnel – Localtunnel is simpler but lacks multi-tenancy; Pgrok offers better multi-user support
cloudflared – Cloudflared requires Cloudflare account; Pgrok is independent and self-hosted
