This is the definition of software that I would not trust to run unless it was open source. This is a real shame.



I had great success using ngrok 1.x which is Open Source. We've compiled it, put it on staging server, hooked up Cloudflare and now every dev machine can expose https://devname.example.com using one command. The certificate is valid, which is very useful when debugging services like Google Drive API, which require trusted SSL.


Count this as another vote for software I wouldn't run unless it was Open Source. It doesn't have to be Free - but I won't run it until its been audited independently, and Open Source is clearly the best way to accomplish that ..


Absolutely, you said it much better than I.



Just saw the "This is 1.0 only, 2.0 is not yet Open Source" comment in the README. Sorry.. but I'll keep fingers crossed.



Then rather go to pagekite, which is opensource.
