I want to introduce you to Vortex, an observability tool we created to instantly generate a secure public URL for testing chatbots, building webhook integrations, and exposing a local web server to the internet.

Unlike ngrok and other solutions, Vortex does not use tunneling to bypass NAT and firewall restrictions, making it a little more IT friendly and conducive for business (Vortex does not allow a user to expose more than the site).

The other differences include:

  1. Stateless — Vortex does not use long-lived connections like a tunnel. It is stateless and works entirely over http like any other web traffic. This means your existing web filtering and security tools all work with our traffic.
  2. Selective — Vortex can be enabled to selectively redirect traffic you choose with custom rules. It is dynamic too, change as you like, while the system is running, with no restart required.
  3. Independent — Vortex does not require any client app to be running to journal and record your traffic. if you do not want to forward that is ok. we will store only — for later analysis and review of data.
  4. Universal — At the network layer, Vortex can record data to any client be it a PC or a phone. No agent software is needed on the hosting server or the client computer.

Implementation for Vortex is less than 5 minutes and it can be switched on and off with a command.
