Tunnlr by Elevated Rails

First, install the tunnlr plugin with this command:

              script/plugin install git://github.com/mmangino/tunnlr_connector.git
            

For the plugin to work, you will need to install the latest version of the net-ssh gem:

              gem install net-ssh
            

You should also install the highline gem:

              gem install highline
            

Next, configure Tunnlr:

              rake tunnlr:configure
          	

You will be prompted for the email address and password for your Tunnlr account.
Then, any time you need a tunnel:

               rake tunnlr:start
            

Are you using Facebooker to build your Facebook application? If so, your facebooker.yml file should look like:

              development:
                api_key: <your_api_key>
                secret_key: <your_secret_key>
                canvas_page_name: <your_app_name>
                callback_url: http://web1.tunnlr.com:5000
                
                tunnel:
                  public_host_username: tunnlr0
                  public_host: ssh1.tunnlr.com
                  public_port: 5000
                  local_port: 3000
            

After editing your facebooker.yml file, create a tunnel with

              rake facebooker:tunnel:background_start
            

To create a tunnel to port 8080, run the following command:

              ssh  -nNt -g -R :5000:0.0.0.0:8080 tunnlr0@ssh1.tunnlr.com

Tunnlr costs $5.00 per month. That's much less than a static IP address or a hosting account.

Tunnlr only allows you to send inbound HTTP traffic to your machine. It is not a tool to bypass your employer's web filters. Nice try, though!
