Laragon local server - how to share project link externally

Server Config
1

I have Wordpress installed on Laragon server where I develop sites locally and then move them to webhost.

How can I share a link to my Laragon Wordpress project permanently say if I need to post it for questions here on SitePoint forum? I tried Ngrok but the URL produced by Ngrok changes every time Ngrok is restarted (I previously registered a free account and authorized it with token but it didn’t help and the URl seems to change or expire).

There are several problems about this attempt:

  1. I would never ever open my local machines for the internet!
  2. I guess your internet provider is not giving you a static IP. So you need a dynDNS provider. I am not sure if there is any priceless.

I would suggest to get a free (or even better cheap) web page somewhere and put your code there to make it public.

Have a look at ngrok.

That makes it pretty easy to disclose a local URL on the internet using a temporary address.

I understand

Indeed, ngrok is only for short term usage. For long term you’d indeed need something like dyndns, as already suggested by @Thallius.

Can you guys recommend the free one (priceless) that supports WordPress installs?
