I find ngrok useful enough to pay for. When I want to demo some software I can run it locally and set up a temporary tunnel. When I used to have a VPS I would do this with SSH port forwarding, but I'm told that tunneling TCP in TCP can lead to some weirdness.
I used to have a dyndns subscription to get a stable domain name for my home router. It's kind of another way to do the same thing - instead of a tunnel I could forward a part.
