Isn’t the node.js version of the ruby one ? ie: http://progrium.com/localtunnel/

Or the Go version: https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok

There's a Go client for localtunnel.me also: https://github.com/NoahShen/gotunnelme

Jeff's localtunnel has been discontinued in favor of Ngrok. It was discontinued in the middle of a transition from ruby to python.

Is there a writeup somewhre of what happened?

localtunnel v1 worked perfectly for me, localtunnelv2 never did (apparently no remote server was ever up) but it's weird that ngrok is a ruby project again.

[nathancahill]

It worked off and on while v2 was under development. I think he just stopped working on it when Ngork was released (Mar 2013).

[inconshreveable]

ngrok is a Go project and has not changed

ah I was tricked by having it installed as a gem, thanks for the clarification.
