Localtunnel: Disconnecting too frequently.

[sksar]

The service is disconnecting 3-4 minutes later i set up a tunnel. This is happening everytime and i am not getting a constant connection. Although my server is up and running but the connections cut too soon.

Guys,
I'm using localtunnel on a daily basis, this frequent disconnection is giving me a hard time to debug webhooks . How much work is needed to fix this ? If some one can give directions i can work on this.

Maybe related or duplicate https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel/issues/177

no @k9t9, nothing related to #177 ....
I think the problem is arising due to slow network or heavy ping delay....

I have to use localtunnel-restarter too however I think I have found a temporary fix.

I'm also not sure if this will always be related to you but I found less disconnections when commenting out a couple of lines in lib/Tunnel.js. Lines 47-50 'error out' when a response is not a 200 which is pretty idiotic personally... (as it would mean that a missing image would break the connection and would be another iteration for localtunnel-restarter. I haven't seen very many disconnections since.

I have upgraded the localtunnel server with the hope that it will be more robust to the load.
