Best Practices for Web Development Behind a VPN
Hey everyone,
I'm currently working on a web development project while connected to a VPN, and I’m running into a few challenges—mainly related to performance, local server access, and API calls timing out. I’m wondering how other devs handle building and testing applications behind a VPN, especially when dealing with:
Localhost tunneling (e.g., using tools like ngrok or localtunnel)
Accessing internal dev environments or staging servers
Slowdowns with asset loading or dev servers
Firewall or DNS issues caused by VPN routing
Are there specific tools, configurations, or workflows you’d recommend for smoother development in a VPN-protected environment? Any tips would be much appreciated!
