Quick NODE Demo site exposed to Internet…

WARNING – YOU WILL EXPOSE YOUR COMPUTER TO THE WORLD…

Simplest option ever: local tunnel

Even if you have a dynamic IP, or you’re under a NAT, you can deploy your app and serve the requests right from your computer using a local tunnel.  This option is suited for some quick testing, demo a product or sharing of an app with a very small group of people.

A very nice tool for this, available on all platforms, is ngrok.
Using it, you can just type ngrok PORT and the PORT you want is exposed to the internet. You will get a ngrok.io domain, but with a paid subscription you can get a custom URL as well as more security options (remember that you are opening your machine to the public Internet).

Another service you can use is https://github.com/localtunnel/localtun

‘ILoggerFactory’ does not contain a definition for ‘AddLog4Net’ and no accessible extension method

To fix this issue you need to run the npm command to install the MS Extension.

If you are getting this error:

‘ILoggerFactory’ does not contain a definition for ‘AddLog4Net’ and no accessible extension method ‘AddLog4Net’ accepting a first argument of type ‘ILoggerFactory’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

You will need to add this extension to our project: [ link ]

Run this NUGET Command from the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio.

install-package Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Log4Net.AspNetCore
