JPRQ - Ngrok Alternative

Get Your Localhost Online and HTTPS

Demo

How JPRQ is different from Ngrok?

  • JPRQ is a free and open-source Ngrok alternative to expose local servers online easily.
  • It allows developers to serve unlimited requests to the local server compared to Ngrok's 40 requests/minute limit.
  • It can expose multiple ports at the same time compared to Ngrok with 1 port limit.

How to install

$ pip install jprq

How to use

Replace 8000 with the port you want to expose

$ jprq 8000

Press Ctrl+C to stop it

[NEW] Custom Subdomain

Replace subdomain with a subdomain you want

$ jprq 8000 -s=subdomain

How to uninstall

$ pip uninstall jprq

How JPRQ Works

JPRQ's Server-side implementation in Golang:

Limitations

  • Cannot expose WebSocket
  • Doesn't work with HTTP Polling

Troubleshooting

  • With serving React, Vue or any other modern web apps, make sure you run production server or build the app and serve static files as JPRQ is not capable of exposing Websocket.
