JPRQ is a free, open-source tunneling tool written in Go that exposes local servers to the public internet via HTTP or TCP tunnels, with custom subdomains, a built-in static file server, and a request debugger. It works as an ngrok alternative with both a CLI and a desktop app, and can be self-hosted.

Use cases

• expose localhost to the internet for testing
• receive webhooks from stripe or github on my local machine
• share a local dev server with a public url
• tunnel ssh or tcp services through a firewall
• serve a local folder as a public static site
• inspect http requests hitting my local server
• use a custom domain for local development

When to choose

• you need a quick ngrok alternative to expose local HTTP or TCP servers
• you want a self-hostable tunneling solution
• you need custom subdomains or your own domain via CNAME
• you want a lightweight CLI with a built-in debugger and static file serving

When to avoid

• you need enterprise-grade tunneling with team access controls and SLAs
• you require a permissive open-source license for commercial redistribution (no license is specified)
• you want to use the hosted service without signing up or supporting the maintainer (it is members-only)
• you need tunnels on platforms beyond Windows, macOS, and Linux
