Cloudflare just changed their Argo Tunnel service from paid to free.
What does this mean.
Among other uses, you can now tunnel your local dev website to the public internet. Similar to ngrok but through Cloudflare servers and on your domain.
https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/tutorials/single-command
If you use Cloudflare to manage your DNS settings for your domain with just one command you can expose your localhost:3000 to a subdomain of your choice.
So if your domain is mycooldomain.com
and you manage it via Cloudflare you just need to install the cloudflared CLI and run the following command
cloudflared tunnel --hostname dev.mycooldomain.com --url localhost:3000 --name mydevmachine
Anybody will be able to access your local website via https://dev.mycooldomain.com
Useful for showing your clients a preview or to provide the Wappler team a URL they can look at in case you are working on your local environment.
