Use ngrok to expose a wordpress local dev site
Raw
wordpress-vagrant-ngrok.md

First - Install NPM on the Vagrant VM

$ vagrant ssh
$ sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -

$ sudo apt-get install nodejs

Install ngrok

$ sudo npm install -g ngrok

For WordPress: Add Plugins to Fix URL rewrites

''You need to to force Wordpress to issue relative URLs. Any of these should do the trick.''

https://github.com/optimizamx/odt-relative-urls
http://wordpress.org/plugins/relative-url/ <-- I've tested this one!
http://wordpress.org/plugins/root-relative-urls/

Now Run Ngrok

$ cd /vagrant/web

''N.B. replace mydevsite.dev with your vagrant hostname ngrok http -host-header=mydevsite.dev 80''

This will show you the shareable URL e.g: http://f90e9293.ngrok.io This URL is only active while your ngrok tunnel is open and it will chaneg each time you run ngrok.
