Thanks for creating ngrok. Sharing my experience and use case:

I tried ngrok (and localtunnel) two months ago to show a localhost WordPress site. Both failed because WordPress uses absolute links to reference css, js and img assets.

So the site was visible under whatever.ngrok.com but the assets where still linked to localhost. I read the FAQ at https://ngrok.com/faq#wordpress and tried all the mentioned plugins plus some other hacks. None did work. In the end I wasted almost one day.

I ended up renting a Simple PHP Hosting for 2 days to which I cloned the site. Which was also half a day but only cost me 2 € (site was online only for 2 days or so) and in the end, it did work.
