heya good question! there's a few players in this space and I'd encourage anyone to look around to find the one best suited to their workflow, they're all great tools. I wrote localhost.run as a natural evolution from a SSH r

I'm trying to source a windows 10 machine to test it on because I can't duplicate your problem on my development environment I'm afraid. Watch this space, I'll drop a reply once I've figured out what's up.
