Expose your local services on the web with LocalTunnel

There are times when we need to expose our local services to the internet. This is possible with a Ngrok alternative called LocalTunnel, a npm package. For example, you might be adding a payment integration to your app with Stripe or LemonSqueezy and you need the test webhooks. These would need to be sent to your local development server because you don’t want to deploy to your staging environment for every test or code change. I will show you how to install the npm package and run the command to expose localhost 3000 on the internet.
