Proposal/Questionning: "Tunnel (expose local server to the Internet)" #1

Open ariary opened 2 years ago

ariary commented 2 years ago

I see that the tunnel feature is on the roadmap, and I am really interested in it!

Maybe I'm wrong, but a simple approach would be to ease (or detail) a local set up of the server and then populate it using ngrok (or any alternative)?

Programs like ngrok are not feasible, because JS cannot provide an HTTP server port. The proxy module must be in the web page.

In fact, this feature is not difficult to implement, just worried about risks, such as network attacks, illegal content, etc. That's the hard part.
