I wont lie I was confused as to the purpose at first, but the more I think about this the more impressed I get. What wasn't clear at first glance was the port isn't fixed and it generates a "one-time" link. i.e. curling `https://tunnel.example.tld/<whateverport>` generates a neat proxy link `https://<code>.tunnel.example.tld/`.

It would be very handy for say a website designer to quickly bring up and share a demo website running on their development laptop no matter where they happen to be (home, work, the client's office or Starbucks) and everyone involved can "just access" everything through a web browser.
