localtunnel: Unable to start LocalTunnel

I found this workaround. Add -h http://localtunnel.me/ and use the url with http instead of https

please try below code:

“webhook”: “lt -h ‘http://serverless.social’ -p 5000”

I’m fearing this project has been abandoned. 😞

lt -h “http://serverless.social” -p 3000
this worked for me.

lt -h “http://serverless.social” -p 3000

It doesn’t seem to be working anymore.

It was great while it was running. But free stuff can’t last forever. We should donate for server and domain hosting. Sign me up.

workaround is here https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel/issues/344

A minute of silence for a great project with terrible maintainers

lt -h http://serverless.social -p 3000

this is the fix i found that works well

F for respect

I am now hosting localtunnel.me for this project so it should work like before. The only difference is that I’m handing out subdomains under the domain *.loca.lt instead of *.localtunnel.me (that’s because I don’t have full DNS control and without it can’t get a free wildcard cert for the domain without). Let me know if you run into any issues.

@sasagr this isn’t working for me, which is no surprise as browsing http://localtunnel.me or 92.51.164.34 doesn’t respond with a web page. The server responds to pings, but there doesn’t seem to be a server running.

I’m guessing what happened is that first the ssl certificate expired, resulting in the tunnel not opening, and now either the domain expired as well or the server that was used to host the backend isn’t rented anymore. I guess this project is dead 😕

But, over at https://github.com/localtunnel/server you can find the backend, so you could set it up yourself 😃

So I am guessing this project is now dead. Combination of original #332 @defunctzombie host certificate expiring, @Pirngruber taking over for a while now absent, looks like this is over. Bummer.

I thought @Pirngruber had taken over hosting #338

I have the same problem 😦

Not able to resolve yet. I guess the project is not active anymore.
