About wsgrok

From developers, for developers.

Our Story

I've been using ngrok for many years and I was a happy user. The speed and how easy it is to start, it's a no-brainer. Like most people, I paid for the subscription to get a permanent domain.

One day, I needed to add another domain. The platform asked me to pay an additional fee, jumping from $8 to $20+ a month. I mean, it's not expensive, but adding one more domain and I have to pay $12+ more? I don't even use that much bandwidth or features.

As an indie developer myself, I found this unacceptable. We already pay for hundreds of subscriptions, and we don't want things to get out of control. We want tools that are good and, more importantly, cheap.

That's the birth of wsgrok.

Built for Developers

On top of that, I want to add features that I'm sure will be useful for developers. This local tunneling tool is not built for production, if that were the goal, you'd just use Nginx or another powerful reverse proxy instead of this or any other local tunneling tool. This tool is built specifically for local development. Plain and simple.

Here's what I know you want:

  • Easy, reliable, and affordable. Checked!

  • Troubleshooting made simple. Checked!

  • Protection for your local machine from ruthless hackers who scan endpoints (partially done, with smarter protections on the roadmap).

  • SEO and other integrations included at no extra charge—also on the roadmap.

All this for a monthly fee cheaper than a cup of Starbucks coffee. That's our promise.
