I've used ngrok in the past for exposing local projects but didn't like being time limited and then having someone try to sell me something. The setup I went with is I forward my local http servers port over an ssh tunnel to a local port listening on a gcompute VPS running apache with a virtualhost configured using mod_proxy to listen on a subdomain managed my cloudflare, cloudflare then takes care of the https/ssl certificates and your good to go! This setup has been working better than ngrok for me, The only thing I miss is ngroks logging, but I haven't come accross anything I couldn't debug between apaches access.log and my local development console. For anyone doing this more than once a day I really reccomend investing in building your own infastructure, even if you don't learn a thing or two at least your brushing up on a topic.

Thanks for the advice.

A good alternative to ngrok is Serveo, which has a public instance of self-hosting options: https://serveo.net/

It's not feature-parity with Ngrok, but it does what's needed.

Thanks for the comment- I haven't used Serveo personally, but it looks like a product that ticks pretty much all the boxes my setup goes for without all of the configuration- And their not trying to sell me something +1 for serveo
