Serveo–Expose local servers using only SSH

In plain words

Serveo is a service that exposes local servers to the internet using SSH, with no installation required. It works by leveraging OpenSSH's built-in port forwarding functionality and is accessible from any terminal. The tool is designed for developers testing webhooks, running demos, and sharing work, and supports multiple connection methods including SSH, WireGuard, and a browser extension for direct localhost bridging.
