    It uses basic auth at the edge to protect the endpoint being used by anyone. The technical advantage to self hosting is bandwidth throughput. For instance, If your using a css framework that is bulky on dev, but then minimized for prod, you will often find the ngrok&#x2F;cloudflare tunnels too slow to load the local host assets.
