Using {{< external href="https://serveo.net" text="Serveo" />}} you may briefly expose your site to the Internet with end-to-end encryption, no sign-up required. Use this to [Work Offline]({{< relref "work-offline" >}}) and quietly poke a hole through your NAT or firewall to move information more discretely.
{{% hackcss-alert type="warning" %}}Warning: No form of communication over the Internet is 100% secure.{{% /hackcss-alert %}}
Serve and expose your site with the following command:
$ hugo serve --disableLiveReload & ssh -R 80:localhost:1313 serveo.net
Once started press g for traffic inspection, or quit to go offline and use fg to return to hugo. Install {{< external href="https://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html" text="dropbear" />}} or {{< external href="https://www.openssh.com" text="openssh" />}} if you need ssh.
