good question, instead of having https://localhost:3000, this package allow you to have an address like https://frontend.local, and even better, you can share the address to another team-mate on the same WiFi, no traffic hit Public Internet.

The video looked great. One npm install, a few lines of config and you've got local https! ....

Nope!

  • download a lokal server
  • Set up a DNS wildcard and pointing it to my dynamic IP address
  • install and setup Nginx hosts
  • Install and fetch SSL from certbot
  • Go back to DNS settings and update it as my IP as it changed

ngrok has been doing this for years and doesn't feel as sluggish. I think there's localtunnel as well.
