JPRQ - Ngrok Alternative

Get Your Localhost Online and HTTPS

How JPRQ is different from Ngrok?

• JPRQ is a free and open-source Ngrok alternative to expose local servers online easily.
• It allows developers to serve unlimited requests to the local server compared to Ngrok's 40 requests/minute limit.
• It can expose multiple ports at the same time compared to Ngrok with 1 port limit.
• [NEW] it can now expose any TCP protocol, like SSH, MySQL, Redis, etc.

JPRQ's Client-side implementation in Python:

Limitations

• HTTP Tunneling cannot expose WebSocket, use TCP Tunneling
• Doesn't work with HTTP Long Polling with HTTP Tunneling, Use TCP Tunneling

Troubleshooting

• With serving React, Vue or any other modern web apps, make sure you run production server or build the app and serve static files as JPRQ is not capable of exposing Websocket.
• With serving React, Vue or any other modern web apps in development mode, you can use TCP Tunneling
