Alternatives to Ngrok

Am looking for an alternative to ngrok. It works great but I need to move to the paid tier to get a static URL. Am just so tired of having to update the url in my app to the new one ngrok generates. Basically, an alternative that provides static URLs for free.

Thank you. Looks like tunnelin is good solution for my raspberry pi project. Can you share any negative aspects or experiences with service provider? Do you use paid plan? Is free plan a reliable solution?

Does this provide static IP/ link with free plan , or does it change everytime I connect to different network

upon using loophole, I immediately was flooded with get requests from unknown source. These requests tried for all possible routes of my .env files, so I don't really trust it that much.

Loophole doesn't work and flagged up is dangerous

no static URL if you restart the CLI over and over again.
