.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
creates a tunnel from the public internet to a port on your
local machine. You can give this URL to anyone to allow them to try
out a web site you're developing without doing any deployment.
.Pp
It captures all traffic through the tunnel. It displays information
about the HTTP traffic for your inspection. Raw request/response
bytes, parsed headers and form data, JSON/XML syntax checking and more
are included. It can also replay requests.

By default,
.Nm
will establish tunnel with

setup your own server by using
.Nm ngrokd .
