Ngrok alternative: stable HTTPS for localhost

You searched for an ngrok alternative, a stable HTTPS tunnel, or a localhost share you can bookmark. Able Tunnel is that page. HTTPS on *.share-tunnel.ableadmins.com. Outbound agent on your machine — no inbound firewall hole. Built by the same people who run production logistics, VoIP, print, and AWS estates.

Free exists so you can try it (one-time Able splash, cookie remembers the browser). Builder $1/mo exists so the URL you send a customer actually loads — five endpoints, no splash.

Free · $0

  • 2 HTTPS endpoints
  • 1 GB bandwidth / month
  • One-time Able Admins splash (cookie remembers the browser)
  • Random subdomain on share-tunnel.ableadmins.com

From your machine

pip install aiohttp
python client/able_tunnel.py login
python client/able_tunnel.py http 8080
# https://k4n9wq2m3p.share-tunnel.ableadmins.com

Dashboard: share-tunnel.ableadmins.com. Fair use on the free tier. Phishing and malware get the hostname pulled. If you outgrow Builder, email me and we talk. If you just need the URL to work, it works.

This is for

  • Showing a local app to a customer or teammate
  • Webhooks into something running on your laptop
  • A stable name you can bookmark and send again
  • A hostname that stays put between restarts

Good to know

  • Built for demos, webhooks, and local apps — production sites belong on real hosting
  • An outbound HTTPS tunnel, not a VPN or office firewall
  • Fair-use bandwidth: 1 GB free, 10 GB on Builder
  • Phishing, malware, and spam hostnames get pulled

When you need a public HTTPS URL for something local

Webhooks into a laptop, a customer demo, a staging app that stays behind your firewall — that is Able Tunnel. Same idea as ngrok, with a hostname you can bookmark. If production itself is down, go to Able Rescue ($199 emergency remote help). Uptime watch is Able Watch. Gear we use: Shop. Full list: Offers.
