A problem I've found with testing Twilio using Ngrok is the latency; occasionally connections will get closed by Twilio by timing out before they even hit my machine.
One of the core features of this release is improved latency, but if latency was ever bad enough to cause Twilio to time out, I consider that a critical issue. Please report it to me if you ever encounter anything like that in the future.
Great concept, thanks for sharing. This is a valid alternative to getting a cloud machine (e.g. EC2) and providing a reverse proxy from your localhost to an open port on the cloud machine.
Haven't tried ngrok yet, but maybe someone can tell me how it's different from creating an ssh tunnel (in a case when I do have a server/vps with public ip running sshd) ?
Very cool. I'll have to give it a spin. I can think of quite a few things this could help with.
Kudos also for the TLS everywhere.

Ah! Multiple tunnels is great, my biggest issue was piping multiple services.
Would it make sense to try to get this to start on boot?
I'm starting to see more and more projects written in Go.
Stoked for the new features Alan - thanks!
