With pinggy.io you can share your Node-RED instance from localhost with just a single command. Replace the port 1880 with the port where Node-RED is running.

Pinggy will give you a URL like https://ranlkfsbjkxry.a.pinggy.link. Use this URL to open the editor, and as the base for any HTTP-in endpoint you want an external service to call.

Node-RED ships with no authentication on the editor, so anyone with the URL can edit your flows. Turn on Password Protect above, or set adminAuth in settings.js.
