Use forwardhq to share localhost

[louisstephens]

I was wondering if anyone has used forwardhosthq (https://forwardhq.com/) to serve a localhost to other users. I got it set up and working, but currently users can not log in and view the backend. What do I need to do to allow users to actually interact with the back end?

Example host https://mychosenusername.fwd.wf

I never tried Forward, but ngrok works great with login in the backend https://ngrok.com/

Yeah, I use ngrok as well.

Although, I use it mostly for the frontend sharing, I never tried to login over ngrok (I can't see why it wouldn't work though…)

Pagekite is another option - see this post.

ngrok is really great as it maps nicely with my virtual hosts, so everything just works automagically.

Just reverse proxy via apache virtual host or use a port forwarding from public server through a vpn tunnel to internal dev server.

I used Vagrant for a short while.

I really LOVED one amazing feature: https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/share/

You can literally share (for I think 1 hour), your localhost project with anyone on the Internet. It generates a totally unique URL and whomever has that URL can visit the site. Front end, Back end. Just as you would on your localhost.
