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.

Limitations

• Cannot expose WebSocket
• Doesn't work with HTTP Polling

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.
