How does Demo URL work? Is it safe?

New to Local by Flywheel. First impression…very cool. Everything is up and running.

The Demo URL is very cool. However, what is happening here? Is it safe and secure? Are you just creating a connection tunnel from the virtual box install? Or is my site being uploaded somewhere for viewing?

If you have any explanation documentation let me know. I didn’t find any.

Thanks.

I am also curious what technology is used to accomplish the Live Site feature. I don’t need a long explanation, just need to let my client know what it’s called (assuming it’s open-source.)

Anyone?

Thx,
Jeff

Hey all,

The Demo URL/Live Link functionality is a secure tunnel that only goes to the site you specify. Nothing is uploaded :slight_smile:

Right now it’s powered by ngrok but we plan on changing that in the future.

ngrok.

Thanks, Clay.
