Can't Share (Localtunnel Down)

We were always planning to create an alternative for localtunnel.me (the sharing server Fenix uses), but it looks like localtunnel.me shutdown without any warning.

Until we can create a new server, sharing may not work.

Seems to have just been a glitch.

@coreybutler do you know if the service is back, can't seem to generate a share link still?

@amaanr - Localtunnel still seems to be an active project, but it has been inconsistent. In the past, I've seen it reset a few times under heavy load. I have no insights into that project, but my working theory is folks are spending more time at home in response to COVID, i.e. spiking usage.

We've started working on our own tunneling service, but we don't have much time to commit to it.

Thanks @coreybutler for your contributions, yep I imagine lots of people chilling at home making websites for fun :)
