Issue Description:

The latest version of ngrok, which is used in this project to expose the local server to the internet, now requires users to sign up and provide personal details. This could be a barrier for some users who would like to use this tool anonymously or without additional hassle.
Steps to Reproduce:

Clone the repository and navigate to the project folder.
Run npm i -q to install dependencies.
Run node index.js to start the server.
Observe that ngrok requires an account and personal details for usage.

Expected Behavior:

Users should be able to use the tool without the need for providing personal details or signing up for an ngrok account.
Actual Behavior:

Ngrok now prompts for account details, making it a bit cumbersome for users who don't want to go through this extra step.
Possible Solutions:

Find an alternative to ngrok that does not require account signup.
Add a clear instruction in the README.md file about the ngrok signup step.

Additional Notes:

This issue could be particularly concerning for users who wish to remain anonymous or are using this tool for quick and simple tasks.
