Briefly, inlets let you expose your localhost to the Internet, through any NAT or firewall.

It can be an alternative solution to ngrok or localtunnel. Since it can be deployed to heroku, you can have your own fixed address, which is better for testing a webhook server.

The original project can be found here: https://github.com/inlets/inlets
