Rate limiting http://open.localtunnel.com/

[harking]

Looks like anyone can post to http://open.localtunnel.com/ and get a localtunnel, as often as they wish.

I suggest adding some rate limiting to this service.

Do you know if this is a problem?

More of a vulnerability than a current problem.

You mean vulnerability to denial of service attack?

[harking]

Yeah, I was worried that without any rate limiting or signup functionality, anyone can DOS the service pretty easily.

I'll work that into v2 requirements.

The architecture has changed and in the latest version running in beta (see master), there is no open.localtunnel.com that allocates a port.
