Connect to multiple local sites on mobile - mobile

Question

I have multiple local sites which I develop on my local machine.
I'd like to be able to access them on a mobile device while they are still local on my machine.
Using XAMPP these are example vhosts configs:
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot "C:/design and photos/agency1/website/public_html"
ServerName agency1dev.com
<Directory "C:/design and photos/agency1/website/public_html">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot "C:/design and photos/captives/website/public_html"
ServerName capdev.com
<Directory "C:/design and photos/captives/website/public_html">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Windows hosts file
127.0.0.1 agency1dev.com
127.0.0.1 capdev.com
I understand I can use my machines IP address to reach e.g.:
http://196.168.2.3:8080
But this goes to the XAMPP dir, so, how do I access e.g. agency1dev.com?
Is this possible?

Answer 1

You can try using Finch, https://meetfinch.com
It's very easy to use (recently released a GUI for it) and just 'works' without having to do anything.
Full disclosure: I'm involved in the project.

Answer 2

The solution I found was using NGROK
Very easy to implement:
In cmd or some shell
Go to: C:\path\to\ngrok
Type:
ngrok http -host-header=myapp.dev 8080
Change myapp.dev to suit what you want to look at - and change port (8080) accordingly
Then look at output and it will give you a http and https url to navigate to on your device
Simple!
