port fowarding to maestro cloud

[helloagain-dev]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
i want to run maestro test on maestro cloud but the backend is not available over a public ip address or domain
i want to run wire-mock locally and my test in the cloud should be able to access it

Describe the solution you'd like
i want to run
maestro cloud ... port:8080
and the app on the emulator/simulator should be available to access the local port from my machine where i started the maestro command

Describe alternatives you've considered
ngrock, any other tunneling service

Hi @helloagain-dev!

Other users of Maestro Cloud that had their backend blocked from the internet, usually behind a VPN, have successfully added Maestro Cloud IPs to their allow list - allowing Maestro Cloud to access it. More details here: https://cloud.mobile.dev/reference/ip-allowlist

Would this help you?

[helloagain-dev]

yes, this would solve the problem with a restricted network but not for a backend not available over a public ip
what about the use case to have a local backend / mock server running? would you recommend to use tunnel service?

We don't plan to support this for now. For now we advise to expose a staging/dev backend on the internet.
