| 2024-03-13 |  | | en | I love this app. I need it to access my websocket I wrote in javascript in the linux environment. Google is unfortunately ending support for chrome apps, Which means once that happens, I can't use this, and I won't be able to access my websocket anymore. |

| 2023-04-04 |  | | en | The App itself is good, but every time I shut down my computer, it's impossible to open the app (and it doesnt work in the background, even if I choose that as an option). To make it work I have to uninstall and install it again, and set the rules once agian, every time I want to use it. |
| 2021-06-20 |  | | en | I have been using for a while, works well. However lately when I shut down my chromebook and reboot, the app will not open. When i click the icon, the chromebook menu disappears but nothing happens. Uninstalling and reinstalling fixes the problem. |

| 2020-10-14 |  | | en | Excellent app for enabling ssh in crostini! Use `hostname -I` to get the target IP address for the crostini container when creating the port forwarding rule for ssh. |
| 2020-04-08 |  | | en | Awesome for port forwarding web development testing from external devices. Also, makes 'localhost' point to linux container. A |
